1979 4600 Gas waterpump

[Eric1]

I have a 1979 Ford 4600 gas tractor that needs a water pump. There is lots of play in the shaft. Anyone have any pointers on where to get a pump and how to replace it? It looks like the hardes part will be getting to it. Can I replace it without removing the radiator? What is the easiest way.

Thanks,
Eric

I haven't run it long enough to really say( 6 months), but i got a good deal from this guy
Ford tractor waterpump 2600 3600 4600 5600 7600 | eBay
And got both gaskets.

Some one may know a trick but my experience is hood,cowl radiator and shroud and anything that looks like it May be in the way all come off. The inner gasket is fun to be so simple.

I sell replacement water pumps carrying New Holland part number for about $70 complete with gaskets. I suspect most New Holland dealers carry the same replacement pump made by Joseph Industries.
