Water Pump: Stripped Packing Nut

Posted by PurdueAg on March 15, 2005 at 10:09:12 from (198.109.220.6):

Started working on the water pump assembly.
Discovered that the packing nut was loose. Upon
closer examination, I discovered that not only is all the
packing gone, but the packing nut is stripped bare and
has rattled around in there for God knows how long
(how could somebody have run that poor old gal like
that for what must have been quite a long time? The
thing must have leaked like a seive!).

So, has anybody ever encountered this before? Can a
new packing nut be acquired / manufactured? The
threads on the housing (where the packing nut inserts)
are a little worn, but not gone, I think they could be
cleaned up. I checked with the IH dealer and a
remanufactured water pump is $466.00. I hadn't asked
yet whether I could just get the packing nut. Anybody
know?

Thanks,

Tony
