need a new or remanufactured water pump for crawler 22

hi again guys , im after a rebuilt or a new water pump for cat crawler 22 its a 1937 kero/petrol engine chassis number on the back of machine is 1j2628 sp , i had a similar thread about it but since then i have found out off dad that the guy who owned the machine b4 dad put the wrong impellers in the water pump , it had been scraping the inside of the housing ,but now not enough water gets pushed by the impellers theres too much gap between impellers and the wall of the water pump , i rang cat australia up but didnt get any help , does anyone have any idea where we could get a water pump ??? im in australia but if we have to get one from america thats cool aswell , cheers guys

The part number of the impeller you need is 1A8737, email Florin Tractor Parts in California, they might have one, though it's a long shot, you are more likely to get a complete used pump off someone, there are quite a few 22's in Oz, the bearings and grease seal are still available from Cat, the packings you can make with graphite impregnated pump rope.

I'll PM you a email address for Florin

I have an impeller still on the shaft. Shaft is no good. You drill out the pin. . $25 plus shipping from CA. - Wally

When i rebuilt the waterpump on mine i had a similar problem but i also got a new shaft built due to wear from the seal, therefor i had to redrill the hole that locate`s the impellar so i moved the impellar closer and made the "gap" tighter befor drilling the new hole in the shaft,
The shaft was fairly cheap to get copied and all the bearings and seals were still avaliable through local Caterpillar dealer,
but if your shaft is ok and you can get the right impellar thats probly the best option

good luck
