I am looking to purchase a rebuild kit for the water pump on my IX series engine.
Couuld a reader provide a contact of who carries the parts and comments as to their fairness of prices.
Does NAPA or any other automobile part store sell Hercules parts?
I do not want to have the pump rebuilt, I merely would like to buy the basic parts, such as the bushings, seals and gaskets.
Any information would be appreciated
Remember I told you yesterday that the 3 gear engines and the 5 gear engines do not use the same water pumps. Your pump is a gear drive mounted on the side of the engine and the 3 gear engines use a front mounted belt drive pump. Now you show all thes pictures but the key one is what type of seal. There are 3 different ones. Also the surface the seal rides on will need to be recut (machined) Send me a picture of the seal on my e-mail,
I have to plow the snow this morning, and then I will send you a few photographs of the seal and related springs, bushing and impeller.
A separate question, when you mention 3 gear versus 5 gear, does that mean that if the engine was removed from the appliance and I was looking at the front of it, that I would be able to see either 3 or 5 gears depending upon the engine model? And, are these gears driven by only the driveshaft?
Any information would be appreciated.
