My purpose for this post is to decide if it is reasonable or wise to order a motor for my 6 year old pump head:
* The pump end was an F&W 10 GPM (model: 4F10S10301)
* At the time the Franklin motor failed, the pump end was functioning perfectly
* After removing the pump motor, the pump end APPEARS to be in excellent condition
* The impeller shaft does turn freely - no binding or other issues detected
1- Would it make sense to purchase a NEW MOTOR for this pump end, which would then give me a working spare?
2- Or, is it more practical to simply purchase an entire pump when needed?
3- If a motor replacement is recommended, what is the best brand? Franklin or any 1 HP motor?
It seems a shame to simply toss a great looking and functioning pump end, but it may not be wise to pair up a new motor with a 6 year old pump end! I'm simply trying to get some guidance.
Thanks!!!!!!!
