Water pump pulley

[50Pickup]

I removed the belts today on my 1950 F1 and realized that the driver side water pump pulley moves freely back and forth on the shaft. The passenger side pulley however seems to be held firmly in place. I can't see anything that could hold the driver side pulley in place, am I missing a retaining clip ? I can't see any grove on the shaft ? Any guidance here would be appreciated, thanks

I can't recall exactly but isn't there a snap ring that has to be removed in order to press the pulley off the shaft? Look here for pictorial of your pump. I see a snap ring.

The pullies are all pressed on the shaft and should not move. Either the shaft is small or the hole in the pulley is to big. G.M.

Thanks 19Forty and G.M., The retainer mentioned by 19 Forty seems to hold the shaft in place but not the pulley. you are probably right G.M.
I will order a new pulley to see if we could press fit it, if it's still loose it has to be a worn shaft !
