Are wayne 40 and 40A visi gauges the same? If they are differant can someone post a picture of a 40A visi.
I need a visi for a 40 if anyone has one for sale. trklvr12@aol.com

DB should have 10 or 20, he can post a pic.
( to be taken as humor )AKA LOL

I have 2, 1 with the bolt hole & 1 w/o. I have been told the 1 w/ the hole is for the 40-A

Made a MISTAKE, forgot the "A"

The two visi's are very different. The 40 looks a lot like the one for an 861 except the discharge is straight down instead of a slanted discharge.The 40A is a taller unit and looks totally different. On page 321 in Jack's book is a pretty good pic of the 40A/45 visi. Kent.

In my previous picture the "BOLT HOLE" is on the other corner of flange.
Here is the 861 & 40-A

My MISTAKE, forgot the "A"

These Visi's are part of my TREE. I've got another sprout started.
None are for sale.

Tok. 34, 870, 36 & 871 all use the same Visi.

I believe the visi in Dick's pic is for a 40A not a 40. Kent.

Wayne 40:

I took this off a Wayne 40.





Wayne 861:

This came on my Wayne 861, they are the same. Both have the bolt hole in them also. Maybe not all the 861's had the bend in them.

my 861 came from the farm with the same visi as brians, but I am sure it COULD have been replaced.

I would have to say, that if a pump co was at the end run of production of a certain type pump and they had older units left and needed them to finish their run they would use the older ones instead of casting more and throwing the old ones out. So you may have gotten a pump from the factory with an older style unit on it. The amount of units that were originally made for the newer pumps may have had some defects, breakage, etc. or just didn't arrive in time thus limiting the amount in the end. I couldn't see a company like Wayne closing a production line just to wait on more visi units.

I believe all the visi's pictured by Blange are correct for a 40. I believe the correct visi for the 861 is the one that Dick has pictured. It has no flange with a hole for mounting to the top. It just has a piece of pipe between the top and the visi.

The one I have on the 861 is original to that pump. The pump had three layers of paint on it white, red then green. Say what you want, but the visi and the top had the same amount of paint layers. Your going to have a very hard time telling me that ALL 861's had the same visi.

OK, I pulled these out of my Tree to photo side x side. Far right is missing glass, but has an 1 original rod holding it together.

Next ???
Left has 1" IN/OUT, no holes in flange.
Right has 1 1/4" IN/OUT w/ hole in flange.
What pump does the left one go to ?
