I got the pump surplus about 20 years ago. The pump body is mounted on a steel plate and a 1/2hp electric motor drives the pump via a flex coupling.
Your best bet would be to go to an air conditioning supply house and get one of the pumps they use to evacuate A/C systems. Those pumps are designed to pull a good vacuum and run all day and they would cost _much_ less than a pump from a laboratory supply company. --Bill >From: "Andrew E.
