All through my life there has been a couple things I never tacked, were radiators, and water pumps. I have replaced many seals in pumps in my past life as a maintenance mechanic in a factory where I worked for 36 years. I have several water pumps on my A/C M that have bad bearings. I took one apart the other day, without breaking the impeller. I sent the bearing and seal to a supplier, they matched the bearing and seal. When they arrive I will be putting the pump back together. Has anyone replaced the bearings on a water pump? How did it work out? I found out almost no one rebuilds pumps any more in my area. I guess because of the import pumps from china. Some of these old tractor pumps just aren't made any more. Stan
