All very good perspectives, and thank you all for your input. I don’t have the original motor. I found the pump on a trailer mated to a Wisconsin gas engine. I bought just the pump. So I will most likely be buying a puller either way. This will be used in a residential setting.

That’s awesome! Those old pumps are great!!

Wow! All very good information! I knew this was the place to ask! Thank you all much! Should i keep an eye out for a used on or look for a good deal on a new?

Hi All, I have a Quincy 216 that I would like to find a motor for. As I understand it this pump is rated at 500-900rpm with a 2-3hp motor. I would like to be in the upper range of that for the cfm increase. I could buy a newer 2 pole 3hp motor (3,450rpm) that would put the pump in that rpm...

Finally figured it out. Thought I would post pics if it will help anyone in the future. So one valve I inserted a roll pin punch and then tapped punch side to side to wiggle the seat out. The other valve I inserted all the way and pushed the seat out. No damage or distortion to the valve plates...

Good idea, my chisel idea didn’t work and I’m trying not to damage or chip the valve housing.

Thank you MacMcMacmac. I guess I’ll try a sharp chisel to try and separate them.

Hopefully I did this right, trying to upload a photo

I recently bought a Quincy 216 and am going through it. I see valve rebuild kits online however my valves are enclosed in a cast machined housing. Do these housings come apart to access the plate and spring or is it a buy a new assembly type thing? Thanks in advance

I bought a proto 6-24mm 3/8 drive set that I love. It's very nice not having to switch ratchets for one or two bolts on a projects.

Saweet!!

Sounds great! Thanks for the quick response!

Do the green flat flats qualify for this 20% off or only the red? Also in the pick you put up on of the 5 flat flats, which one is the shorty on the left? Thanks so much!
