DUKW hand bilge pump

Post by fireinthehole » Wed Jul 17, 2019 4:53 pm

I would like to replace all the leather parts in this pump so it works before I sell it. I can make these if I have to but I was wondering if there is somebody out there that has these available as a rebuild kit already. Also would it be better to leave the paint as it is for the next owner or should I repaint it.
Thanks for any info.

I have now replaced the leather cup and straps along with the leather check valve. They are of the same thickness as the originals. There are also new nutserts and brass screws that secure both ends to the pipe body. I have not tried to pump water with it but the handle pulls smoothly and the cup is snug. I would like to sell this now and am asking $800 for it.
It still has original paint and that is how I will sell it. I will also provide the original leather parts.

Hello
I have one (wood handle missing) but it's located in Belgium. Shipping might be expensive.

Hello James,


I found 2 by searching on ebay, a few years ago, under vintage bilge pump.

Most people that have them have no idea what they were used on, but they do show up !


Best Regards,
Ray
