    Default Sap Runnin. Pump Isn’t.

    Does anyone happen to know a manufacturer part number for a DeLaval 78 oil shaft seal. Or do you know how to find it online easier than me? Thanks in advance.

    Hamby Dairy Supply.
    Just do a search for delaval 78 and parts should come up.
    I ordered new oilers for a surge pump through them. If they don’t have it listed just call them. They will be able to help you out.

    Hey all. Yes, NAPA had the bearings and took a day to get the oil seal but now I have an extra on hand. The good news is that the shaft seal seems to be holding but like in the other post, the end plates are leaking. I tried the paint on Permatex but it just heated up and melted away and now we have another haz-mat situation. The DeLaval dealer in Middlebury said to use Hi-Temp RTV on the end plates. So, tomorrow morning when I get home from work I'll seal the plates. Thanks everyone for the info and for checking in. I'll let ya know how it goes.
