Try Shoup, or Schoup, I don't remember for sure the spelling but surely they have a web site by now. I used to get their parts catalog every spring, and did order a few things from them. I had a Massey disc, the only Massey machine I owned and do remember their blades and bearings from the Msssey dealer were high priced.

Crunch and Dennis;
I'm not a veteran commuter, just a year or so after high school I drove 60 miles round trip to a job, after that about three miles to care for livestock on a "Distant" farm.
But this isn't the topic you guys are going after, yes we tend to follow our kids when we retire so we are content to stay in Icebox, Iowa. Four of our five kids have settled within the Cedar Rapids, Marion metro where we are now, the fifth is near the Twin Cities, that's about five hours as the Chevy goes.
Several of our friends and old classmates that are still sucking air have gone south, we considered it but Kids and Grandkids tend to keep us close. At risk of upsetting those in the south, I just never cared that much for snakes, alligators and big bugs, we have little bugs up here but they all freeze to death in the winter. when it gets too cold or too hot I just don't go out.
To each his or her own I guess.

Another downfall of apartment living is there is no room to stash a years worth of canned goods and a giant water tank. I guess when the end comes I'll have to be one of the first ones to go. Fortunately we have a nuke power plant about 10 miles as the crow flies, so when she goes kaboom, I'll just evaporate, not lay and kick for a week.

Have you noticed the odor of a clutch burning? A badly slipping clutch will smell somewhat like hot brakes depending on the type of clutch lining.
Have you checked the clutch pedal freeplay? That measurment should be in your owners manual and surely in the service manual. If you caught it in time an adjustment might save the day.

I don't know anything about variable pressure pumps, but I do know that the standard on/off submersibles are so reliable you almost forget you have one. I've had them in two different wells, I don't remember the horsepower anymore, but the first one is down about 80ft. and has not been pulled since new in 1971. The well on the other property is 500 ft. deep with the pump hanging at about 400 +ft. It's been there 15+ years and never been pulled. Like was said put in a good sized tank with a standard submersible and unless lightning or something happens you will be trouble free for years.

Some of the codes are in the service manual and not in the owners manual.
Check with a dealer, they will know.
