It covers pulling the fan shroud and turbo hoses, modifying a bearing puller to fit, discovering the AC clutch belt has no tensioner (a two-person job to reinstall), a ~$600 pump price, and reassembly with a coolant leak diagnosed at the end. Best for owners doing this exact repair themselves.
Posted by the Riggins Ranch channel, an owner-operator documenting a hands-on repair on their own tractor.
Raise the loader, remove fan shroud and turbo hoses as one unit, pull the pulley with a modified puller, then remove and replace the water pump, reinstalling with new O-rings and gaskets.
The AC clutch does not adjust and has no tensioner, so the belt must be rolled on by hand, with one person spinning the pulley and another guiding the belt.
The water pump was priced at about six hundred dollars, which the owner felt was not unreasonable for this size of tractor.
No, the bearings are pressed in and the shaft broke during disassembly, so without a press it was easier to buy a whole new water pump.
