KB-2 water pump rebuild
Next came the flange (fan). YA! That wasn't moving at all with a 40 ton hydraulic press and heat! Over to the lathe to drill a 1/2 inch hole through the end of the shaft. The shaft is 5/8 inch.

Even with all that metal removed it was still tough going but it did press off.
Once apart it was cleaned and blasted.

I have a good source for the W/pump bearing a Federal bearing No. FB 5144 and a seal so that should be OK.
Here is the casting number and a symbol (upper right) I'm trying to decipher, a "T" "B". Any ideas on this symbol?
