Perry, MO | I am on the Rural Fire Board in our area and got quite a shock when I got the quote for some pump parts. Our department has a 94 model fire truck and a valve came apart and went through the pump, it did not hurt the housing but we need a new impeller, nut, seal, and a brass wear ring. The impeller was a little over $3000 but that was no real shock, the shocker was the brass wear ring that is over $7500. I have learned that this is a Hale Godiva pump, Godiva is a European model that is hard to get parts for. Everything but the wear ring is in the U.S. but it will have to come from overseas with a 12 week lead time. I am going to take it to a local machine shop and see what they think about making one but I am afraid it may be tough without having some specs from the company and not knowing how much it is worn down. We are not a tax based district, just operate off of dues that are voluntary and this is going to eat up most of what we spend in a year.

| Well it is time for a new pump. When some sellers see a public payer like a city, or fire district paying
the bill, they go for the gonads.
Replace the pump. |

Perry, MO | The pump is no longer available, and to make things worse, they say it has a different pattern and we would have to replace the transfer case that bolts directly to it as well. |

nw MN | I would say that any machine shop could make that, and you may be surprised how well they can estimate wear in recreating parts. |

Amherst WI | I know. I have a Hale PTO irrigation pump that had a bearing go out of it. If screwed up the brass ring in it. I ordered everything I needed to fix it right, new rings, new seals, bearings ect. $1300 is what the total came to. They weren't even the right parts. I got busy over summer and I am not sure they will even take them back now. |

New York Eastern Finger Lakes | On most centrifugal pumps, the clearance between the ID of the wearing ring and OD of the impeller ring is 15 thousandths. Your ring appears to be what is known as a labyrinth style. |

Chaffee, Western New York | Our Darrley blew up to the tune of $13000. Insurance covered most of the $14000 for an all new pump. |
