This is what I wrote to the people at Eaton (which bought Vickers Pumps years ago)
Dear Sirs,
I'm requesting your help trying to find specifications for a small Vickers vane pump which has following characters stamped on the pump housing:
VTM425046
15 MFL 114S4
E00
Another identical pump has:
VTM42504515
15 MFL 114S4
This is the power steering pump which was original equipment since the late sixties till 1985, on the multifuel engine powered 5ton military 6x6 trucks.
The pump housing is 4 ¼” long (from mounting surface to end of housing), has a 2 ¼” dia. centering guide and a ¾” dia. keyed shaft for the drive gear.
This pump is mounted with two bolts (studs) to a special adapter flange. These bolts are 4 3/16” center to center. (SAE # ???)
Inlet is 1” NPT, outlet ¾” NPT.
I would like to know if this particular pump model is still being manufactured (or reman.) and if there is a direct equivalent out of your latest catalog. If not, which other vane pump with the modern nomenclature would be suitable to be adapted for this application?
Also, what is the capacity in gal/min at 1500 rpm against 1500 psi, pumping Dexron III?
What would be the maximum output pressure?
Thanks in advance!

This is exactly the e-mail address I had contacted, so this didn’t help us at all! May be one day we will find out, what other pump fits in that place, but nothing out of their catalog!
I’m attaching a few pics so you can see the different components.
