Water Pump Rebuild

Hi all,

Anyone have experience rebuilding a water pump on a BD240? I was looking through the manual, and it looks doable, but I an wondering about parts availability, etc.... It may be easier to have this one sent out for overhaul, which brings me to another question... You guys know of anyone that rebuilds these things?

I was wondering about the voltage regulator too. Does anyone repair these? This one looks rough.

Thanks!

Re: Water Pump Rebuild

Voltage regs you can buy new. I don't know of anyone rebuilding them. Most will still work even if 70 years old. Not much to go wrong with them.
Waterpumps aren't rocket science. IIRC I re machined mine to accept a commercial pump seal to replace the old one when I had a buddy make a Stainless steel shaft for it. You need a way to press it together, so some sort of press is required, you can't hammer the impeller on the shaft an expect the seal to survive.
