I have a 1950 MM UTU with a bad water pump. Its starting to bypass the drain hole. Anyone know where I can get a water pump reseal kit? Or even a whole new pump? Part numbers (I think) start with KE. Responses are greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I will give them a call tomorrow. I really appreciate your time and response 😁.
 
Please keep us updated Tommy. :)
The '50 UTU here is a water pump-weeper also.
MM guys: Do you guys have a decent way to pull the pump impeller? Would you share?
This problem of removing the pump impellers MAY exist back into the KT, MT, U and also the 21-32 F series.
I've yet to reach out to the model T Ford bunch asking about about their similar clutch hub puller and if it would work on our TC/MM's.
 
Thanks Tommy! This might help those of us that don't know the secrets yet.
The UTS here is modern to me. I mis-typed that it's a UTU. Same stuff tho.
Now I get it GB. The older models BEFORE the LH-threaded U impellers were slip on-pull off with a cross-bolt to hold.
These U's are LH threaded. Were they threaded from the start? Ya, I need more books. :)
Is there a hex or a flat to grab to turn the LH impeller off the shaft?
Blast from the past. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=747101
Hopefully, this sheds a bit of light instead of adding confusion. I'm re-reading that thread to sink it in my brain.
 
All U's had same pump with brass impeller 1938-58. U diesel used same pump as 5 Star M5,GV1, M602.M670 etc. Has oil seal, water
seal, shaft and impeller. There is a grease nipple on side for shaft. Never over grease or will damage seal. On bottom there is a
weep hole to allow coolant to exit if seal goes bad. If plugged off will fill crankcase with coolant. KTA uses packing rather than
a seal for shaft which is external. Has a packing nut which is common to break by over tightening. Same setup in FTA/GT and earlier
TC.
 

We ended up getting the impeller off by grinding out the rusted cotter key. We have the whole kit, one question I do have is: Do I need to resurface the packing gland? Because I have read multiple forums on some people leaving it alone and some people taking off .005. Any ideas or plans of attack would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.
