March of 2010 I took another pump to Dave Ferguson's Diesel service in Austin MN.

Another great day, I got to help assemble and test a second pump with Dave.

 

The pieces that can break in a PSB pump

if the Plunger breaks you are pretty much out of luck and can start looking for another pump head
The small C shaped clip can be replaced Gary Agrimson makes them

What a good drive clip looks like in place

The broken clip doesn't leave much room for the plunger to slip by

Some of the new parts we used

The disassembled pump all laid out for pictures

Dave pressing some parts with the special tools

The special tools made just for working on these pumps

There is a special tool for holding the pump in a vise, and the screw to hold the rotor correctly

Seen from the bottom this verticle shaft is driven by the main rotor

Seen from the top it is what spins the plunger the halfmoon cut-out needs to face out to remove the head

Here we see it more clearly outside the pump

Alignment screw holds rotor in proper position the head is installed marked tooth lined up with casting mark

The governor actuator with a newly rounded edge

With the rod attached

The assembled pump mounted to the test station

The completed pump all sealed up ready for paint
