The side broke off like as I tried to remove the dry rotted hoses. Doh! I'm going to try some jb weld. Here's hoping!
I have this pump you can have for postage...the nipple needs glued back on or you can use your old cover if its the same
I plan to convert all my Westies to electric drain pumps from modern HE machines. The power source is right there (drain pump solenoid) and the in/out connections should be pretty easy. The thing I haven't worked out yet is the pick up point for the water level pressure switch. This is one of those "back burner" projects, so I'll figure it out eventually.

pick up point for the water level pressure switch.
I'd leave the old pump attached and in-line, then attach the electric pump downstream. The electric will do the pumping, and the old pump body will still be there to handle the pressure-switch duties. With the solenoid disconnected and power rerouted to the electric pump, the old pump won't ever be driven.
Not sure if the impeller in the old pump would obstruct too much, but you could remove it.
Alternately, you could pull the drive spring and guts out, seal the hole in the back of the pump body, and then it could just sit in place and be nothing more than an air dome.

I just called them today John. The lady said she had a bunch but they were thrown out and I was too late or "SOL" in her words. Jerry, I'll contact you a little later.
Oh NOOOOOOO!! I hate to think what's going to happen to the rest of those parts now....

If this is the same company that John is
referring to, I don't think they will just
rid the shelves of all the old parts.
They have a store here where I live that is my first
"go to" and are well aware of this site.

If someone wants to check behind me, feel free. I spoke to the lady there this afternoon. Perhaps she was a new employee? If you find out something different let me know. I was going to order 2 just in case!

They did let me know, and any one of us could have gone and bought stuff in the year and a half since Larry died. As I mentioned I was there last Saturday and bought a bunch of parts.
