water pump no more

[fiddlybits]

Very creative. Some really good laughs. Thanks.

Like our machines, it was simple.

Tiny basically got it.

I was carrying too many things and when i set it on the bench.....there wasn't enough bench under it and it went to the floor. Unfortunately it fell on a 2 inch angle bracket which busted it.

Thanks for playing.

Are those .45cal. longs in the back ground? Should have use a .22, to much power.

What? 36 grains of FFg is too much for pump instalation?

Bill, I think he used a left hand hammer on a right hand pump

Cast iron is strange & sometimes very FRAGILE! There were NO signs of a previous crack, even. I jacked further back on Minerva's pump, to try to get a stuck head popped loose, & it DIDN'T BREAK!

I tried to jack up the head but broke the crank pulley instead,see you were lucky.

Ouch. Hopefully you have another housing to use?

Mike beat me to it. I saw a blade break off and things went downhill from there.

Did you tap on the front of the pump to break the gasket loose?

I should have read page two before posting.

Rocket Man,
I put the base of a screw jack against the water pump & the udder end on the front main bearing nut.

Yes, fortunately I have 2 more April 28 and later housings like the one I dropped, as well as 1 weird one that has no grease fittins and 2 of the early style housings. (with the full bottom)
