Why doesn't my water pump work anymore?

It is the correct color.

Let the analysis begin.........

Tim Armstrong · 04-16-2015, 07:56 PM

I think that it is broken.

fiddlybits · 04-16-2015, 07:56 PM

A little JB Weld and that will buff right out... ... ...

Plain to see, as someone shot it dead with .45 cal hootycryser ! Probably mistaked it for dinner/squirrel

Heck looks like a green spurrile to me !

I'd say you used it as a lifting point for the motor...?

Mitch//pa · 04-16-2015, 08:23 PM

you cut it in half to remove the pump and fan easier

Big hammer · 04-16-2015, 08:37 PM

In the oven baking and someone walk across the floor to hard :-)

Larry Jenkins · 04-16-2015, 08:44 PM

It must have been talkin' to your Dissie.. It too has a split shaft..

Larry

TinCup · 04-16-2015, 08:53 PM

I am with Mitch you must have had a 4 blade fan and it was easier to get the pump out this way.

Jerry in Shasta · 04-16-2015, 09:40 PM

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

darrylkmc · 04-16-2015, 09:55 PM

Looks like you didn't allow the paint to fully cure

RUNNERBUN · 04-16-2015, 09:56 PM

I suspect the wife came home and found it baking in he kitchen oven. After she used up the 5 bullets (she's a poor shot) You are still alive. She got so cranky she hit you over the head with it.

WestCoast · 04-16-2015, 10:16 PM

I didn't know they came as an assembly kit, you got the directions?

BILL WILLIAMSON · 04-16-2015, 10:20 PM

Did you have a jack under it to loosen the head?

WestCoast · 04-16-2015, 10:31 PM

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

Mike V. Florida · 04-16-2015, 10:37 PM

Loosing a blade will do that.

Tiny · 04-16-2015, 10:40 PM

Looks like fresh paint. Did you drop it?

40 Deluxe · 04-16-2015, 10:46 PM

Another coat of paint would have held it together. Next time don't be so cheap!

fiddlybits · 04-17-2015, 05:06 AM

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.

Yo' Buddy, or a BREAKIN' BAR
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!

rocket1 · 04-17-2015, 09:08 AM

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

Tiny · 04-17-2015, 09:13 AM

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.

fiddlybits · 04-17-2015, 10:26 AM

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)
