Why repair your 175B with us
Real numbers before teardown
Most shops quote only after your unit is in pieces on their bench. We publish the whole market — new, used, scrap, competitor repair — up front, so you negotiate from strength.
Cheaper and faster
Our network rate beats standard shop pricing by roughly 18–25% on the 175B, with turnaround 2–3 days shorter — and 24–72 hour emergency rush when the line is down.
Two-way market maker
If repair isn't the smart move we say so, buy your unit for cash, and can supply a tested used replacement. No other gear shop gives you all three exits.
20+ years of industrial iron
Industrial Surplus World has bought, sold, and rebuilt Amarillo equipment for decades — cooling towers, pumps drives are daily work, not an experiment.
About the Amarillo 175B
The Amarillo 175B is a right-angle cooling tower drive from the A/B/C series, pump drives line, rated 20–175 hp across ratios of 1:1–6:1, and most commonly found on cooling towers, pumps. Amarillo Gear right-angle cooling-tower and pump drives (A/B/C series) are the Texas-built standard for vertical turbine pumps and cooling cells.
When a 175B fails, the real decision is economic: a new unit lists at $7,200–$17,500 with a 16–30 week factory queue, a tested used unit trades at $2,880–$12,600 when you can find one, and a standard shop rebuild runs $3,300–$10,500 over 10–15 business days. Our in-house network rate of $2,570–$8,600 in 8–12 business days beats all of those paths on total cost of downtime — and if the unit is beyond economic repair, its scrap weight alone is worth $70–$171, while we'll pay $350–$3,000 for the core as-is.
Typical failure modes on this family are bearing wear, shaft-seal leakage, and tooth-surface distress from degraded or contaminated oil. A correct rebuild means full teardown, hot-tank cleaning, magnetic-particle inspection of all gearing, verification of bearing-bore tolerances, all-new bearings, seals, shims and gaskets, reassembly to factory clearances, and a loaded run-test with warranty up to 24 months. Done right, it restores full service life at a fraction of replacement cost.
