is this the right impeller for a B2858 motor? What other parts should I replace when replacing an old motor?

Could send a few photos of your pump? If you send photos then take a close up shot of the motor label as well as a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump. To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get any of this information we can make the proper recommendation.

    I don't have the motor, I am hoping to buy it from you, but I want to know which other parts I should buy to make sure that the installation goes smoothly and the motor lasts as long as possible

      Hi Jeff, The parts needed for installation are tied to the pump housing side, as this motor is used on about 10 different models of pumps and each one of those pumps requires unique parts. Here is a Good Image Showing the Difference between Pump Side and Motor Side can you pull any information or part #'s off of your pump side?

Does this impeller come with the screw to hold it into the motor? And can I buy a screw separately, I believe it is reverse threaded...

Hi Mike, this impeller is used in the Pentair Whisperflo series pool pump. Please see this parts diagram where key numbers 14 and 15 show the set screw and washer used with it.

    Ok- thanks for your response. Is the answer- "No the screw does not come with the impeller and you will have to buy it and a washer separately"?

I'm curious why Pentair is pairing a 1 1/2 HP impeller (WFDS-28) with a 2 HP motor (2 HP 1.1 sf). Or am I reading something wrong here? Should I be doing this, or should I get a 2 HP impeller for a 2 HP motor? My understanding was you always match the impeller with the motor's horsepower. This pool has tons of head. I want as much power as I can get from the pump..

Hello Michael.  The Impeller 073129 is rated for motors with a total horsepower (THP) of 2.0+  (2.2).  The model WFDS-28 is an Up Rate 2.0 HP Pump, SF1.10, THP 2.2.  The 1.5 HP pump models, WFE-6, WF-6, and WFDS-6 are Full Rate 1.5 HP, SF 1.47, THP 2.2.   The Impeller 073129 is THP compatible with all these models.
