Food Plots Sprayer pump help

[Mr. Hawk]

So I go to spray out my plots today and my 40 gallon sprayer turns on but will not pump. I verified no clogs in lines. My tank is loaded with Gly so I need to get back up and running ASAP.

I've had this pump since 2014 so never had to deal with replacing. Any recommendations or should I just try to find the same one? I think the sulfur water I use from my well seems to be hard on my stuff as I also had a prior issue with an ATV 15 gallon sprayer pump.

Amazon and roll on. I fried mine a few years back and had to get a replacement. Fairly simple to do.

Impeller pump is the only way to go. Been there done that just no T/shirt

Is it producing any air to pressurize the tank? If no air, replace the diaphram (or the pump itself). If pumping out air, but not pressurizing the tank, you have an air leak in the tank. find it and seal it.

Assuming your sprayer is set up with a pressure gauge and bypass, I'd put a bigger pump on it. You may have to upgrade your wiring harness but it's worth it in the end.

The tanks aren't sealed that I've ever seen. Pressure is built between the pump and the nozzle, not in the tank.

Thanks guys, it's not sealed, I found a replacement on eBay for $60.

Take it apart and break it loose. It's probably locked up. They aren't built with the best components and bearings. That's why they're so cheap. Mine locked up over the winter. Took it apart, broke the motor loose, put it back together and it's fine.
