Re: [ihc] water pump fer '50 R-130 needed

Marvin,
        I have two suggestions.  The first is that you have it rebuilt. 
There should be a place in most of the big cities in the US that can do
that.  If you do not know of a place, let me know.  There was a place
called Willamette Electric that did that from the 1920s until a few years
ago when they closed their doors in the face of Mexican competition. 
They supplied auto parts places throughout the Northwest.  I actually
worked there for a summer when I was just out of high school.  When they
closed their doors, the guy that ran the water pump department moved to a
place about a mile from my house, and continues to rebuild water pumps
for people.  I can get you their name and number if you want to ship the
old pump to Portland, Oregon.  A good rebuilder can do it without knowing
what the engine is, and just go by the look of the pump.  
        If this is not an option for you, I do believe that the inline
water pumps are still available.  I can point you in the direction of
someone that can get one for you, but again, due to the scarcity of those
pumps, you will still need to ship the old one back for a core.  Also, he
will want to know what the motor is, so motor identification will be more
of an issue.

While I was working at a customer's house he commented about the IH
megnetic
signs on my personal vehicle.  He said he had something to show me after
I
was done. When I was finished he took me to a barn and showed me his old
truck, a 1950 L -130 (title said L-131) dump truck. It has newer tires
and
still runs and he said he would still be useing it but for the water
pump-
it's out. Not off the engine but it does not work.
   He requested our help to get this ol' truck back on the road.
    It's an inline 6 and looks like my SD220 but I don't really know what
the engine size is
I'm looking for a water pump for it. Can anyone help?
