Like Bob says it could just need a 3.50 cent part. As a matter of fact even if you are receiving a new pump, you should get the collar for the shaft. The original method of keeping the shaft was for it to rest against a boss inside the head. Years ago they sold (and still may do so) a shaft with a longer end in the head that would be ground down to rest against the boss.
