Simmons Mfg. 1161 Plunger Assembly for Pitcher Spout Pump

I had an old Pitcher Pump that I cleaned up and repainted. I had to replace the old leathers as well and needed a new plunger. The new Simmons plunger fit and works great . The pump had a standard 3” opening and the plunger was perfect with the leather that came with it. Nice fit and good to go.

It was a bit snug and hard to push down into the pump. We started to think we may have ordered a wrong part. But we rubbed some olive oil on the leather and managed to install it. I am pretty sure the snugness is actually a good thing. It will probably last a long time. Pump works great.

This fit right in my 4 year old Tractor Supply cast iron pitcher pump. The old one refused to disassemble for a new cup leather but this was simple and not much more money. If it only had the bottom check valve, too, it would have been the perfect repair. I bought rubber checks from another seller and they are horrible.

This plunger fit a 100+ year old pitcher pump.

This is a hand pump used in the garden. The leather cup and leather flapper valve had disintegrated with age, and the plunger assembly cast valve had broken when I dropped it. The parts sent from Amazon were an exact fit and the pump is now back in operation and pumping water like a champ. Praise God!

Great option for rebuilding your pitcher pump! This is a quality part. Once this goes in you’re back in business! Like anything that’s new, it has a brief breaking in period! A little stiff at first. Then perfect!

It breaks easy in cold weather u need to have a replacement if your using your pump to water cattle in the winter

Works as it should!

as I wanted
