Apparently they're very proud of their impellers. Which company?

Greetings,
Mr. OC. The $100+ was a reseller and the first site I checked. Able to find for $75 (CF). Shurflo 3200 series pump. Already ordered and will be kept as working spare.

Back in the day, candy bars were $.05.

But consider the dental consequences of the 5c candy bars.
New heat exchanger for the 7KW Onan cost just short of 2K AUD. Ouch.

My buddy broke the rectangular frame that holds in is Caterpillar 3208 After cooler. It is made of pot metal, has several holes in it for the bolts, over $700 with tax. Yiikess

The complete pump is only $186.00 on Amazon. I guess the impeller is the most expensive part of the whole thing.

Ok, me again, the microswitch preventing the start of the engine when in gear went bad. Based on the part number, $125. I one on Grainger for less than half that and I got two on Amazon for $12.

Even West Marine, (which is notoriously expensive) has it at half that price.

I recently read an informal stat that in the 1960's a "middle class" home was roughly one years gross salary. Now it is roughly 5 years gross salary.
