Series 60 – Section 4.3 Water Pump (Front Mounted) (Fm)

Section 4.3
Water Pump (Front Mounted) (Fm)

The centrifugal-type water pump circulates the engine coolant through the cylinder block, cylinder head, radiator and the oil cooler. See Figure "Front Mounted Water Pump " .‪

The pump is mounted on the front of the engine gear case cover on units built prior to 6R037024 and is driven by the water pump drive gear. The water pump drive gear meshes with the bull gear.‪

An impeller is pressed on one end of the stainless steel drive shaft. The other end of this shaft has internal threads, and a retaining bolt secures the water pump drive gear to the shaft. Two identical roller bearing assemblies are used to carry the shaft See Figure "Front Mounted Water Pump Details and Relative Location of Parts " .‪

Figure 2. Front Mounted Water Pump Details and Relative Location of Parts

A rectangular rubber ring, located in a groove in the water pump housing, seals the water pump to the gear case cover. A smaller rectangular rubber ring, located in a groove in the water pump cover, seals the cover to the water pump housing. Engines built before October, 1989, are equipped with rubber O-ring seals on the water pump housing and cover. See Figure "Front Mounted Water Pump Details and Relative Location of Parts " .‪

An oil seal is located behind the bearing assemblies, and a unitized, spring-loaded, face-type water seal is used behind the impeller. This seal prevents water from leaking down the shaft and into the gear case. It also prevents lubricating oil from entering the cooling system. The water and oil seals cannot be replaced without removing the water pump from the engine.‪

The pump bearings are lubricated by splash oil through a passage from the front of the pump housing.‪

Section 4.3.2
Draining and Removal of Front Mounted Water Pump

Drain the cooling system as follows:‪

Open the drain cocks located at the right rear corner of the engine, at the bottom of the water pump and in the bottom of the thermostat housing.‪

Remove the water pump as follows:‪

  1. Loosen the hose clamps and remove the coolant hoses from the water pump housing.
  2. Loosen and remove the three water pump housing-to-gear case bolts. Remove the water pump from the engine by pulling it straight out of the gear case.

Section 4.3.3
Disassembly of Front Mounted Water Pump

Disassemble the water pump as follows:‪

  1. Loosen and remove the two water pump cover-to-pump housing bolts. Remove the water pump cover by pulling it straight out of the water pump housing, to prevent possible damage to the seal ring.

    NOTICE:

    If a vise is used to secure the water pump drive gear for locknut or impeller removal, use soft jaws on the vise and exercise extreme caution to prevent damage to the water pump drive gear teeth.‪

  2. Clamp the water pump drive gear in a vise, with the impeller facing up. Use a two-screw puller and remove the water pump impeller from the shaft, using the two threaded holes in the face of the impeller.
  3. Place the water pump face down on a press bed. Using J–35988–5A (part of tool set J–35988–C) and two breaker bars, loosen the locknut that secures the water pump drive gear to the shaft. Remove the locknut. See Figure "Water Pump Drive Gear Locknut Removal (FM)" .

  4. Use a two-jaw puller to remove the water pump drive gear from the drive shaft.

    Note: Use care not to lose the Woodruff key.

    warning

    EYE INJURY

    To avoid injury from flying parts when working with components under spring tension, wear adequate eye protection (face shield or safety goggles).‪

  5. Remove the snap ring from the water pump housing. See Figure "Snap Ring Removal (FM)" .
    Click to see this graphic in a separate window

    Figure 5. Snap Ring Removal (FM)

  6. Support the water pump housing, engine side down, using steel blocks or plates; allow at least 76 mm (3 in.) of clearance between the pump housing and the press bed.
  7. Press the drive shaft and bearings assembly out through the back (engine side) of the water pump housing, until both bearing races are clear of the housing.

    NOTICE:

    Use care not to damage the housing. A damaged housing bore will cause coolant leaks and damage to the engine.‪

  8. Remove both the water and oil seals from the housing using a brass drift and hammer.
  9. Support the drive shaft assembly on two steel blocks, at the bearing inner race. See Figure "Removing Bearing Assemblies (FM)" .

  10. Press the drive shaft out until it is clear of both bearing and race assemblies. Discard the used bearings, races and the two spacer rings located between the bearing packs.
Section 4.3.3.1
Inspection of Front Mounted Water Pump

Inspect the water pump parts as follows:‪

  1. Visually inspect the parts for cracks, wear or other damage.
    1. If parts are cracked, worn or have other damage, replace damaged or worn parts. Refer to "4.3.5 Assembly of Front Mounted Water Pump" .
    2. If parts are not cracked, worn or damaged, reuse remaining components.
  2. Inspect the water pump housing for relief slots in the water seal cavity. If the pump is without the relief slots, modify the area in which the impeller rides to add the slots. See Figure "Water Pump Body Modification (FM)" .

    Note: The gear case cover mount water pumps have two cast slots in the water seal cavity. Effective with Engine Serial Number 6R2807 machined relief slots were added to the pump. The relief slots ensure coolant flow to the seal faces.

    Figure 7. Water Pump Body Modification (FM)

    NOTICE:

    If a vise is used to secure the water pump drive gear for locknut or impeller removal, use soft jaws on the vise and exercise extreme caution to prevent damage to the water pump drive gear teeth.‪

    1. Lock the water pump body securely in the soft jaws of a bench vise.
    2. Using a die grinder (if possible, have professionally machined), remove 38.1 mm (1.5 in.) of material in the 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions of the raised belt that surrounds the water pump impeller. See Figure "Water Pump Body Modification (FM)" . Enough material should be removed so that, when machined, the slot is flush with the rest of the casting.
    3. After machining, wash the pump housing and all other pump parts in clean fuel oil.
    4. warning

      EYE INJURY

      To avoid injury from flying debris when using compressed air, wear adequate eye protection (face shield or safety goggles) and do not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) air pressure.‪

    5. Dry with compressed air.

Section 4.3.4
Cleaning of Front Mounted Water Pump
