i am in that type of Business here in Burlington Iowa and there are no parts available anymore. You can still get the internal parts the plunger and Leathers. If you need the outside casting you have to look at antique Stores and them may or may have one that is not already crack. The Still make them but the don't look ;ike the old ones anymore

Thanks for the correction Sam. I knew they made fire hydrants and various valves. I thought they also made a pump, but I must be thinking of the yard hydrant you mentioned.

I grew up in Oskaloosa and my Dad worked at Iowa Valve for 38 years. My
brother and I also worked there.
To my knowledge, they never made a hand pump.
I would welcome evidence to the contrary.
(The yard hydrant marked IOWA was not made by them. Rather by Woodford
(in Cedar Falls?) [not related])
I have two of those.
