OT F250 waterpump

Finally got my 89 F250 water pump replaced. Every bolt snapped off at the face of the water pump due to rust. I tried drilling 1/16" holes along the bolts. No way. Finally took my hand grinder with a cut off blade and sliced the pump along every bolt. PB blaster and hammering finally got it off. About 4 hours just to get the old pump off and old bolts out. Total time including coolant flush & fill, road test and tighten 2 remaining leaks, 12 hours. I saved big $$$ but am now 2 full weekends behind on the farm work.

Yes, I had 3 hay deliveries to make, which I am backed up on, so my time is a factor. Trouble is, I over spent on fertilizer and lime, and need to draw the line somewhere. I'm also saving to buy a discbine.
