Somewhere and recently I've seen something about the brass gland nut, I'll search around and come back here when I find it unless someone else beats me to it.

As to the pump rebuild, of course Gould Rebuilders, and probably Terrill, would do a fine job. But it's such a simple pump most folks just do it themselves. The bearings are still active and common numbers, and the graphite cord shaft packing in either split rings or continuous is common and available from many sources. Why not try it yourself?
