Yeah, that was then.... Today everyone wants to bill you for everything.
Just frustrating when I had a pump rebuilt and ready to go, and the guy instead wastes hours "rebuilding" because my old, but rebuilt pump, (that was on the vacuum tank for years before it needed to be replaced by the current one 10 years ago) looked different than the one currently in use.
What really got me is when he took the weighted valve off because "it wasn't doing anything".... IF he had found the actual problem, that valve sure does do something. When the vacuum gets too high, it lets the system relieve itself a little bit instead of sucking an already compromised ballast tank inside out because it can't help itself.
To rebuild he took the plate off one side, cleaned up the vanes and rotor, and schlepped it back together with RTV oozing out the sides. When I took mine apart it had no signs of RTV so it went back together with no RTV.
Seems to work just fine. Mom said they could hardly keep up last night because they were milking so much faster now. Last time this old pump was on they only had 3 units. Now they added a 4th bucket and a milk transfer unit so they don't have to sling buckets all the way to the cooler.
