Farmall M Water Pump Packing

IAtractorKid · Jul 20, 2014

Hey guys! A few weeks ago I got the M I have been working on back together and the water pump was leaking. I didnt have everything back together yet so it was pretty easy for me to just pull the radiator back out and replace the packing. I didnt want to over tighten the packing nut so I just snugged it up. Well of course now that everything is back together, it is still dripping a little. Think it will seal up with some run-time or am I going to have to tighten the nut some more? If I need to tighten the nut, think I can get to it without pulling the radiator again?

Thanks!

Tighten the nut a bit more if possible.
I think you'll have no trouble getting to the nut with the radiator in, unless perhaps there's an extension on the hub to space the fan foreward. With the driver studs in you may need to reposition the wrench a couple of times, though.

Snug it again, the spanner wrench for my angle grinder just happens to fit that nut about perfect.
