Thanks for posting this video. I just replaced my water pump on same tractor. Also had to unbolt the radiator at the support brackets. You instructions probably saved me hours of frustration!
I’ve got a g4200. My pump is still going strong and surprisingly the engine has no oil leaks at all. I’ve taken care of it for many years now and all I have to do is make sure the radiator isn’t clogged with grass and change the oil.
Cool! the oil change will determine the life of the engine and people don't realize if they just clean the grass out from the radiator it shouldn't overheat.
Very helpful video. I see that when you take the radiator out both left and tight bottom brackets are attached. You showed how to detach the eft hand bracket but how do you release the right hand bracket? I have done the same as you with the left hand bracket but I am having some difficulty finding the release pin on the right hand support. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
It should have a pin on top but if it's rusted like mine was you will have to unbolt and remove the radiator brackets with the radiator and then remove them from the radiator and reinstall them back to the tractor...There should be two bolts on each bracket.
@@LonnieJohnson1 Thanks for getting back to me on this. It was very difficult to find the release pin and I couldn't find any bolts on the bracket. I ended up cutting through the retaining bolt at the bracket surface.
If it's leaking the seal is bad. If it's not leaking I wouldn't take it apart. Is the fan is making noise the bearing is getting bad or if it's wobbly the bearing is bad. If the tractor is over heating check to see if the radiator is blocked.
@@LonnieJohnson1 By your 'easy' comment, I take it you didn't do a lot of disassembly to replace yours which looks somewhat new. The driveshaft obviously needs to be disassembled. Were you able to work the belt in around and down without removing much else?
