Feathering pump identification

I’m looking to identify this feathering pump type CA4225 form fe9 24volts. Does anyone know what aircraft it was/is fitted too?

thanks

Shack is different, smaller motor and pump assembly. Getting it rebuilt may be the way ultimately. It is for ground use, rather than flight yes

These pumps were probably used long after WW2 maybe even on Shackleton?

Have you tried a professional motor repair firm? These motors were built at a time when repair was an option so actually come apart pretty well; I have a motor (and pump) from a crashed Halifax that I hope to get running one day…

…presumably you don’t need it running for flight use?

Merlin-engined Halifax (100% certain about that) so probably Lancaster too.

Have you got the actual pump? That bit is just the electric motor that drives the pump.

Many thanks CR, that is grand. Yes I have the pump, but unfortunately the motor armature and comm are corroded beyond repair. I am looking for a replacement motor, so now I know what it came from I can keep an eye out.
