Gold King pump needed

[twisttop]

I have an older 5 inch dredge with two 5hp B&S motors and Gold King 2 x 1.5 in pump (both with T-80 air pumps). I damaged one of my pumps housing beyond repair and I am looking for a replacement. Suction was great so I did not want to upgrade with newer pumps at $700+, but still want matching pumps. I was hoping someone has one or knows of someone who would sell me one not being used. I only needed the impeller housing , but will buy a complete pump. Thanks a bunch.

Have it welded may be cheeper.

I thought about that. Certainly a option if I can not find a good used one. It is broken in pieces where the seal is located.

I would think that any good machinist could fix you up for less then half the price of a new pump.

We took the time,found and you never called-yes or no man as both sections and all seals for a lousy $50 is a fantastic find for non existant parts manJohn

at that price he ought to offer to buy them all! John,thats a really good deal ! it would cost more than that to weld up his device, not to mention any machining!
