vintage wheel pumps 101 ?

[dryclean1]

hello washer family its old Bill the drycleaner. I have been collecting wws for almost 20 years now and of course there is one part of the machines that is hard for me to work on. you guessed it the wheel pumps. sometimes I have gotten machines with a working pump and quite often the pump will work for years ie-1964 visimatic. but after the pump goes its gravity drain time. the visimatic pump has a plastic impeller or did until it turned to dust when I worked on it. I still have it and am thinking about having my friend the wrench make an impeller on his dads 3d printer. any ideas or comments would be apprecitaed, thanks Bill

I have a '59 visimatic-that impeller sure looks a lot like the circulation impeller of a BD 4-port pump(used on some BDs through '72 ?) do not know if the impeller is actually usable on a visimatic pump .
