Those were the days when a person could fix things, not like the machines of today where mechanics are basically parts changers. This video brought back memories.
Sorry to take so long getting back. I changed iPads and wasn’t smart enough to sign the new one into RU-vid. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel
Very helpful video. My Deere water pump is doing the exact same thing where the fan wobbles badly. I was afraid I would need to buy a new pump at a cost around $2000. The repair is a much better idea. Thanks for the demo on rebuilding it.
Sounds like mine. I would not recommend waiting too long as your luck may not be as good as mine. Thanks for watching and I hope you subscribe to my channel and click the like button.
Great demonstration! My pump is similar, but I don’t have a press or easy access to one. My options are a new genuine JD pump, a new A&I pump, or a new no name aftermarket pump.
@@KevinKalden Yesterday I bought a new A&I water pump for my 1996 John Deere 5300 diesel tractor. For the past several years it’s been dribbling out the weep hole. Just a few drops now and then. But this year a big puddle on the floor. I need the tractor right now to brush hog pasture at my farm, but I’m very reluctant to run the machine on just water in the radiator. I thinks it’s best to change the pump first and replenish the coolant and then go do work with the tractor. Thoughts on running 3 cylinder John Deere Diesel engine on just water temporarily? Thank you sir.
@@CH67guy1 this a great question as it give me the chance to clear up some confusion on how cooling system works. The radiator and engine block are connected and if water leaks out of the pump it leaks out of the radiator. Even if the radiator could hold water after the block runs dry it would be worthless because it’s sole purpose is to transfer heat removed from the block by the coolant to the air. Also overheating can be catastrophic to an engine and ruin it by warping and cracking the block and head. Cooling system problems are perhaps the leading failure in engines. While you got your engine apart clean the radiator fins that are probably packed with oily dirt, flush the system, replace the thermostat and get in the habit of periodically blowing out the radiator fins with compressed air the remove the dirt and debris. I hope this helps.
Do you press on the shaft or on the outside of the bearing race to get it pressed back into the water pump housing? I see other video's of people pressing on the shaft and not the race of the bearing.
I've got an awful screeching bearing once I idle up just a bit on my JD BHL 500C, I think the noise is a bearing in the water pump. There is no play in the fan nor any leaks, It's not the alternator or the hydraulic pump and I can't see anywhere else the noise would come from. We shall see, thanks for the video...
What is your tractor? It looks like a 301 and mine is a 300 . Having cooling trouble , it blows coolant out the overflow even before warming up , i think maybe it has a cast impeller and the vanes rusted off after 50 years . What is your opinion? It will overheat after some use , rad is clean , hoses are good
My best guess, blown head gasket or crack in block or liner. Combustion gasses are being pumped into the coolant. my tractor is a 401D thanks for watching please consider sharing the video and subscribe to my channel.
I have the same tractor and it will not move forward. Engine runs great, reverse works fine, all hydraulics are great, just no forward movement. Any ideas?
Hi. Thanks for the video. Where did you get the shaft? All the diagrams John Deere provides shows a different shaft than what you(and I) have. Do you have a part number for the shaft? thanks
Yes you said something very important at the very last of the video to put the hub pulley on the shaft not the bearing why didn’t you recorded that part that is been the most difficult thing to do. And i didn’t understand how you said you did it. Do you have s drawing off since sort
I hope you will join my channel and hit the like button. Why did I not record it? Hell I asked that same question to myself in the video. If I remember correctly I took something that would clear the impeller and sat the shaft on it in the press. then pressed the pull on allowing the force to be on the pulley, shaft and what ever it was that I used to keep the pressure off of the impeller. probably an old nut.
You have A lot of acquired skills and knowledge, so you could consider showing "more inclusive" video's because if you omit any steps in the process of taking things apart or assembling them, then people with little or no related expertise may not be able to do the job you were aiming to teach them correctly, so don't be shy about make your videos longer while ensuring you show and explain every step of a given task clearly. Stay safe, regards Niels.😀
Shooting videos is an art in itself. I’d like to think I’m getting better. I definitely have invested in a lot of equipment since this video was shot. I also struggle with knowing that RU-vid is not necessarily the best platform for a novice to learn how to do task That requires an awareness of how things work and good safety practices. I love showing the skills I have learned over 40 years of fixing equipment with hopes that people may gain something from it but I don’t want to be an all inclusive training source. I am definitely not the person to shine as an example of safety. Thank you for watching my video.

I do not recall. Probably from a google search. I bought the kit a year or two before doing the repair but pump did not leak even though the shaft was loose so I kept pushing my luck. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you subscribe to my channel and give it a thumbs up.
