Re: 1936 J-80 Johnson water pump plunger

[Buccaneer]

Played with the plunger today for something to do.
Don’t think I could have made one on the lathe.
The walls of the plunger are only about .020.
Don’t think I could bore something that long
and thin. But I did use the lathe to cut off the
worn end of the plunger and then make an insert
to fit in the tube. Thanks for that idea!

The gear teeth repair may be a little harder.
CCMullet’s parts are not the same as mine.
Anyone aboard successfully welded and re-ground
gear teeth?

Prepare to be boarded!
