Re: ’60s Johnson water pump – Freeze Damage

oh yes, Florida does have its cold weather !! (sometimes).
Not like up in the Great White Nawth, but enough to put on the mittens, LOL.
And speaking of cold, Central Florida is normal – – – high ’80s two weeks from Christmas !!!!

I will get some of that Tuff Poxy at NAPA tomorrow. I know those little sides are not
structural. More like keeping the impeller cool and to save aluminum in the manufacturing process.
I will post pics after it’s done. Basically, brace the outside of the thin wall, fill the inside
with epoxy putty, then finger out the middle to restore the air pocket, sand it all flush and reassemble
with a few new parts.
