Decades of Dependability: Cornell Pumps from the 1950s Still in Service Today

At Cornell Pump, we occasionally receive calls that reach back more than 70 years. A customer might need a wear ring or gasket for a pump they’ve been using since the Eisenhower administration. Many of these inquiries relate to our early Rain-O-Flow irrigation models—pumps that have quietly powered farms and fields for generations here in the Willamette Valley near the factory.

Precision from Start to Finish: How a Cornell Pump Shaft is Made

At Cornell Pump, shaft production is a critical part of ensuring long-lasting, high-efficiency pump performance. We manufacture shafts in-house—from raw material to finished component—with exceptional accuracy and consistency. This is a strength of our pump series, and benefit of purchasing genuine Cornell replacement parts. Currently, we precisely build more 300 shaft versions to address the reliable and robust use in our pumps, some weighing many 100s of lbs because they are robust and overbuilt to withstand the rigorous of difficult applications.
