1930 model a motor

[peanut1943]

I have a 1930 A and the water pump dose not have a nut on the shafts, can someone tell me what I have? This was brought to my attention when I put it for sale. Thanks

It is probably a leakless pump with a seal and without a packing nut but a picture would sure help. You said "shafts", I assume you meant "shaft". If you really meant "shafts" then a picture would really help.

Charlie I posted a pic, what motor or pump is in there.

My guess is that it is a leakless pump built by someone that uses a seal and not a packing. I hope others will jump in here since I haven't seen anything like it. Most leakless pumps I have seen have a fake nut there so they look correct.

Do you mean on the front end of the shaft next the radiator? It did not show to well to well on the picture.

There used to be aftermarket pumps that used a carbon seal like the early V8's. It looks like one of them to me. There was no packing nut used with these.

The nut should be next to the pump. I hope some one can come up with a answer to help me. Thanks in advance.

I thought I saw a thread on this, maybe it was Facebook. Yes, you have an aftermarket old "leakless" pump.

I haven't seen one exactly like this before either. It has to be someone's leakless pump, so I's just run it until it goes bad, then replace it with an original pump.
