Louis,
This is the same thing I encountered with my 64 Safari_ the Transformer puts
out approx 17-19 volts AC for the waterpump & fan winding takeoffs, which
won't run the replacement waterpump. My old PAR pump motor did OK with that,
but the shureflow would not- it wants DC of course>
Here's what I did: go to Radio Shack and get a "rectifier" , which you can
install into the wire to the pump, which will change the AC to DC- it is
just a small component, kinda square, about the size of a nickle,  and only
a few dollars. Ask how to wire it in if nesc. This should take care of it.
Other fix is just keep your pump switched to run from battery, it may last
long enough. Good luck!
