RWP parts?

In my experience if depco pump doesnt have them then they cant be had... www.depcopump.com. I don't have access to my records but that looks very much like an interceptor pump that I rebuilt using parts from depco 7 or 8 years ago.

Grant,
Any bearing distributor will be able to get you both the seal and bearing with ease. Depco pump is also a good choice. I would avoid any source with the word "marine" in it. I feel Gregg paid at least twice what he should have!!

Grant,
Bearing suppliers will be listed under "power transmission". Here's Fleck in St. Louis

Tim,
No I am not thinking of West Marine! I've purchased power transmission products from day one of my work and that was back in 1975!

Thanks for responses.
Missouri Machinery here in STL can provide the SKF bearing at a fair price $12; but they don't have the seal.
I was told the seal is a special product made only for Sherwood and has limited distribution -- O'Reilly Auto Parts being one seller. But O'Reilly tells me they have only a house brand -- not JC -- and their price is ridiculous (twice what Missouri Machinery gets for the SKF brand.)
Yes, I try to avoid "Marine" companies.
And -- the Sherwood drawings for this pump don't seem to have the numbers I've found on the parts.

Pete,
I dunno -- I'll ask a long-time customer of them Monday.

Yes, that's what I'm doing.

. . . or maybe Amazon?

30Rock's source would have them shipped by now.

Depco has parts in stock by Sherwood #s.
$21.23 (for a $12.00 bearing), $33.67 for the seal.
Plus shipping.

Salesman said "You could probably do much better at a local bearing house. We get our parts from Sherwood."

Since I'm in no rush for this pump, I'll continue looking.

They did not mention, nor suggest that they could get the parts. My local NAPA guy will have the bearing in tomorrow. He searched and searched for the seal. He thinks I have the # wrong, but I found it using a loop. One dealer said it was a proprietary part, available only through two sellers -- O'Reilly being one. I phoned O'R; they said they could get both items. I'll pick up/look at the NAPA bearing tomorrow. Not sure yet about the seal, but I'm in no rush for it.

BTW, I have the '77 pump back together -- cleaned up, new bolts, "O" ring and impeller -- installed dry. Before starting the boat, I'll dump water in at the top of the pump's outlet hose. Hope that keeps it cool and primed.

Tim,
You are correct that a "bearing company" will not have a pump seal but a power transmission distributor will. This I know from personal experience servicing hundred of pumps.

I've rebuilt mine twice over the years. Never seen just the shaft seal by itself (which is two pieces), only as a kit with the spring and cup washer.

8122pbrainard wrote: The spring and washer is part of the seal. The spring is what keeps pressure on the ceramic face. Grant, I think you are confused as to what a seal is and a pump rebuild kit. The kit is from the OEM and includes other parts besides the seal.

Yes, confused. I was looking for the only part I thought I needed -- a ceramic seal by John Crane sporting the # JC-2786. Now I'll be looking for the "kit" which I think O'Reilly and others handle. It wasn't until Tim posted the photos that I understood -- or think I understand -- what I'll be buying.

Yes, me too. The G-21's "O" ring passed my leak test today.

BTW, The # on the bearing removed from the pump was SKF 466041. The markings on the SKF bearing purchased today (2/17/15) were: 17307H ITALY SKF 6202/15.875-2LS/C3LT10. And, the number on the NAPA package is 202-NPP5. (Go figure, no wonder the NAPA guy had trouble finding it.)



If I had known the NAPA number 202-NPP5, I could have paid $12-something, not $23.07 for the bearing.
