Circulator pump goes out on Boiler and I'm Happy?

Sorry for the thread revival. Mine just died tonight. 7 years & 4 months old. No replacement cartridge on hand and no place open tonight to get one. Good thing it's unusually warm. Hope I can source one locally tomorrow.

I originally had a taco 009 and 007, installed in 2001. The 009 needed a cartridge every 5 yrs, got replaced last year by a 3 speed grundfos for not much more money. It is located in the basement and is mounted horizontally. The 007 is surprisingly still running on the original cartridge and is supplying 2 buildings. It is located at the owb and is mounted vertically.
