    down on luck I broke my suck !!!

    was rewashering my alvey yabby pump this arvo in preparation for the M&G and gave a bit too much wrist to the twist and snapped the brass plunger axle off at the wing nut.

    does anyone know if you can buy replacement plunger axles for them or is it just more cost efficient to buy a new best mate (had the old one for 15 years - damn that cheap alvey crap ! # )

    I knew i should have heated it when it resisted turning but i thought just a little bit more will be ok ... # #

    Mate, If your on the southside bring it around and have it fixed quick as downing two stubbies. You just have to turn the end down a bit and re-do the thread #

    na mate, under the arm pit #
    I'm at Loganholme near the river.
    Sent you a PM with my numbers to get the pump sucking again.
    Hahn lights in the fridge ready too go

    The only problem with rebuilding is you loose about 1/2 inch of stroke.

    there is another option if plan A doesn't work....

    I recently bought a new pump as I COULD NOT get the brass wing nut undone. However a mate took it into his shop and it is all fixed now. Haven't got around to getting new washers yet. I would be happy to get rid of the pump minus the washers for a small price

    You can definitely buy the shafts, seen them in a few places, not many

    Call Alvey if you haven't tee'd up with Finga yet

    thank - you Dr Finga - you're a legend !

    a bloke without a yabbypump at a Whiting M&G would be a bit like Fonzie turning up to Arnold's without his thumb !

    heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

    and i can't believe what a small world it is -

    we definitely have a have a fish and a yarn and perhaps a frothy one or two sometime soon.

    thanks again
