    Shallow well pump low pressure cut off question

    In a nutshell, I recently damaged my shallow well pump by mistakenly running it dry. I was having my cistern cleaned and sealed so we were temporarily drawing water from 55 gallon drums.

    Aermotor pump OJS-50 LR5857 B/94

    Having trouble finding a rebuild kit for my shallow well pump? An online search for this model (OJS-50) has been a bust. My wife tells me I bought this pump at Tractor Supply about 15 years ago? The Aermotor website doesn't list this pump. Any help would be appreciated.
