Water pump bearings seized up without warning yesterday on the Ford 1510. The local NH, now mainly John Deere dealer will sell me the bearing assembly and a new gasket for about $25.00 or a new water pump for about $250.00. Asked the shop manager how to replace the bearings and he said they don't mess with them, they just replace the whole pump. Major difference in price makes me want to rebuild, but I am having trouble finding a place to press off the old and press on the new. Any thoughts? Thanks in Advance!

Thank-you all for your comments. My NH dealer said he would'nt do it even if I bought the bearings from them. I think I will spend the day trying to find a good machine shop around here that will do the job. I need to find one I trust enough to do the work on the freshly stripped N block anyway. Plan on boring for thick sleeves(now has thin steel) and such. This will give me the opportunity to size up the shop a bit. And it will give me an excuse to get away from the house. Was a long hot night as the A/C quit cooling yesterday afternoon. I don't want to be here when the service man tells me I need a new compressor or worse. Oh well, machines break.
Thanks again, sorry so winded.
Alan

Around here there are machine shops everywhere. You could stop in at one and leave the pump over night, they would be more than happy to press the bearings in/out. I would look for a small shop to do the job. A big shop would not be too wild about such a small job.

Water pumps like oil pumps require the set up capabilities of a good machine shop. A good reputable machine shop can make short work of repairing either one.

Alan..... ..Shop manager is correct, from where he stands. Shop rebuilt waterpumps are not a high success job and when the customer comes back complaining, he has to do it over again for "free". He sells the customer a new/rebuilt pump off the shelf and all warrentee complaints are paid for by the pump mfr. Good business practices for him and you pay for it. I personally have never been successful in rebuilding waterpumps, even with presses and jigs, I don't know if it is a "high-skill" trade or whatever. I'd sure as shoot go surfing the net for waterpumps unless you need your Ford 1510 tractor back and running by yesterday..... .Dell

Alan,
Our local auto parts store will do jobs like pressing bearings off and on. Of course, that's generally for folks that bought the bearings through them. Maybe for a ten spot....??
If not, the dealer should be able to do the job for whatever their labor rate is, even if they'd rather sell you a new pump.
HTH
