Shaft number. This is going to sound crazy but somehow I need to identify this pump and or it's manufacturer. I do not want any of my normal suppliers involved because they charge 5 to 7 to 10 grand for this piece depending on who I re-order it from and I know there is no way in heII it should have to cost that much.

Bet you could find a local machine shop to make one for pennies on the dollar.
I went through about 17 pages of google images on the lap-top. I finally found it and called the people who manufacture/import it (who knows) and resell it to my supplier. They have to call me back on availability. Way more than 10 times cheaper. If someone held a gun to my head I am sure that I can replace that bearing/rebuild that pump. My worry is that the inside of where it goes is all scored up anyway. As loud and as loose as it is I'm am almost positive it's got to be scored.
Do you have a Grainger store near you, if so take that whole brass pump in and see if they have a match or can order you one.
They may have a place that rebuilds them or know of someone local.
You may want to do a check for fluid pump rebuilders in the local area, or one that will allow you to send it it for repair.
Should be able to rebuild it with the right tools and parts,

I been real busy at work - I hope to be able to hang a little bit mornings coming up the next couple of days.
This picture sort of concerns me.
There are no light leaks, temps are not extremely fluctuating and with this run the dark cycle is also the dark cycle outside. I haven't been in there one single time during lights out and have double checked every time that I have NOT accidentally left my service light on ever.

Good Broh
Makes me very nervous that you are so busy, did you find a way to rebuild or and new pump to add to the mysterious device?

Might be able to bore and put a race in it?
Thanks for asking @RosterMan
I ordered that replacement piece direct from the manufacturer or (More than likely) Importer. Cost was one tenth 1/10 (No Shizzle) of what it is through my normal supplier. Coming from California. I bet I went through 30 pages on the laptop of google images before I found the correct one. A guy used to be able to find stuff on the google or youtube a few years ago... Nowadays - Everyone want's to be a youtube or TicTok star. And you can't find diddly. -
The building next door had a major gas leak yesterday. By the time the power company shut it off, they went back and determined that gas was still leaking from that line someplace else, so they decided to inspect my building... Long story short, the gas is now shut off for me also.. Commercial Red Tag Code Violations .... Grrrrr. Suppose to be in the low to mid 30's here at night these next couple evenings and the HVAC guy has already come and looked stuff over. Everytime I think I am getting a little ahead of the game... Fak Fak Fak.. Always something..
Anyhoo.. I should get to hang for coffee and pinch-hitters for a couple mornings coming up.

Well that sucs, How are they going to find the leak without gas being on?
And what if it is from a buried gas line outside underground leaking into your building, then what ?
They went through the building with this fancy pants hand held meter with about a foot long hose on the end of it that had a piece that looked like the male end from an air compressor on the tip of it.. They found everything... Unfortunately.. They could have waited until after Christmas.. That boiler/heater is older than me which makes it at least 60 something...
I been needing to get the stuff looked at anyways.. Sure put the damper on the C5 I'm hunting for myself. That would have been the ultimate Christmas gift to my wife (Wink Wink) haha. Getting too old and damaged to be crawling in and out of one of them anyway.
Looks frosry
I hope it won't cost too much, maybe your insurance company can pick up some of the expense.
Hey no big loss everyone in town would have looked at you like you were the new rich doctor
And in a year from now both you and your honey would have bad knees and lower backs
