Hi all,

I'm restoring my 1950 LA. This is my first restore. I'm trying to get all of the problems taken care of before I have it painted. I've begun to notice water leaking from around the water pump. My question is..... Is the waterpump a one piece unit that I remove and have the whole thing taken somewhere and rebuilt or is it a matter of just replacing some parts that I can do myself at home.

Thanks for all your help!

Mike

Mike; Have you filled the grease cup and applied pressure with grease? The LA , and most Racine tractors had a grease pressure seal in the pump. Fill the cup with heavy grease and turn the cup down till you feel pressure. This should stop the leak. As for pulling the pump for rebuild, the pump has a double flange and 3 tapped holes for 1/2 inch puller bolts. Sometimes, if you are living right, the pump can be removed with these puller bolts. Most often the rear flange of the pump is rusted in the bore and trying to pull the pump can break the pump housing. The only way to remove a rustad in water pump is to pull the head, remove number one piston and sleeve and knock the water pump out from the back side... Gene

Don, I am still tolerating my leaking pump on my LA. I can run it all day without leaking, but as soon as I shut it down, I have to turn the grease cup in to stop the leak. I plan to rebuild the engine this winter and will then romove the pump and install a new seal. I just know all of that used grease is accomulating in the engine block... Gene
