Another Cat Ten Update

There are a couple of Threads on here from the past year on water pump packing.
I know of at least one on the 15 and I think the other was on a 30?
Anyhow I have found "Valve" packing right off the shelf at the Hardware Store gives good life.
I know in the above threads one guy recommended McMaster -Carr as a source.

Bill,
Here you go on the packing: http://www.mcmaster.com/#pump-packing/=kz6mci

or let me know how much and what size you need, i am sure i have some in stock.

Thanks Erik and Jeff....did a little research and will have packing by the weekend...McMaster_carr is fairly close.

Have a good evening......Bill

Not really a normal source for us tractor guys, but I bought 1/4" Flax propeller shaft packing at West Marine which is working fine in my PV 15 water pump. I know you have located some but I'm thinking of others down the road who may want it.

Bill,
After looking at your picture of the front roller gaurds, it would be my guess that with only a 1/2" differance, i would make which ever set matches up with the rest of the lower rock guards.
I see no reason for the larger cut out other than if the idler was changed out for one with a larger dia. hub?

FWIW, I measured mine on a tractor with approximately 50% undercarriage at 9-inches so I guess it does not make a lot of difference. They are hidden by the rest of the guards. - Jan PV 7207

janmeermans, I think you are right....making a matching pair is the best way.

Thanks for your help....Bill
