These pumps are Wayne 511E, there were Mfg'd in the early 60's. These pumps were originally configured as 8 grade pumps. This can be determined by looking at several things including the Veeder Root computer, as you will notice there price on the lower wheels is only 2 digits plus the tenths, the later computer would have had a digit for the dollar. this can also bee seen since the upper doors are early style that are chrome plated, not the later stainless doors. The original Blend plate would have been yellow at that time, later they went to the SS ones. The face plates appear to be later ones.
I will try and answer any specific questions you may need help with just drop me a note.
Currently I have 6 of these pumps in various stages of restoration, 2 are extremely early 511D pumps...so I should be able to help you out with any questions you may need clarification on...

When it comes to processing equipment like mixers and blenders, its often not a question of if, but when a crucial component will start to wear out.
The impact of downtime can be substantial, eating up 1-10% of production time, according to Processing Magazine. Overall, downtime costs industrial manufacturers as much as $50 billion a year.
To avoid dips in equipment performance and repairs that result in costly downtime, youll want to keep a few key replacement parts in stock. Here are three common parts that should be in the storage room of any facility:
- Bearings By some estimates, up to 60% of equipment breakdowns in a facility involve bearing wear, so having replacement bearings in stock is crucial. As a wearable part, there are many factors that may cause a bearing to fail including design, quality, storage and handling, installation and alignment, and lubrication.
- Motors Even if you never experience a motor failure, the cost of downtime alone is worth having a spare motor. Power quality, excessive loads, misalignment with the motor drive shaft and bearing wear are among the factors that can lead to a motor failure, which can bring production (and revenue) to a halt.
- Gearboxes Some of the most common forms of gearbox failure include under or over lubrication, using the wrong lubricant by mistake and contamination. Gear misalignment and overloading are other potential issues that can cause premature wear and tear. Because the chances a failing gearbox will stop production are more than likely, its wise to add extra gearboxes to your parts inventory.
The three parts covered above can quite literally mean the difference between a simple repair and an unplanned emergency. If you can quickly access these parts, youll be in an ideal position to keep your equipment in good working order. If not, then youll be counting the lost production hours and profits until the part gets delivered to your door and installed.
