    Where is the pitting? I'd go with the one with the least play in the bearing.

    The Gates is new, the GMB has minor pitting in the casting.

    Certainly not, I went to a standard High School, just always had a mechanical aptitude which I gained from my Dad who never threw anything out, but rather repaired an item so it could live on for years to come and didn't have you running back to a shop again and again..

    It's called the "War mentality" something just no one has been able to come to grips with during this COVID19 situation which would easily get you through all this current crap. This is why it hasn't bothered me one little bit whatsoever.

    Resilience !, it's something most people have no idea about.

    Your tap water must have come out of the Waikato river. That's where they get the water for that magnificent brew. Can't get it here.

    Lion Red, that's what they give to the blues Rugby team. Look how well they did.

    Read through this thread and none of this mentioned in this post is the cause of my five failed pumps.
