Simmons Mfg. 1161 Plunger Assembly for Pitcher Spout Pump

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.

Fit perfect

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.

This plunger fit a 100+ year old pitcher pump.

Works as it should!

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!

The plunger works great and fit my standard pitcher pump perfectly! But the cup leather sucks. It worked for the first 3-4 days but now the pump has to be taken apart and manually stretch the leather to make it tight enough to pull water. Will have to replace the cup leather, which leaves this a bit expensive if only able to use the plunger part.

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.
