HWade Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) Hello Gents Well up untill now no real problems with the truck, but after getting back from a show the other weekend I noticed water dripping from a hole on the water pump. It first looked like that I would have to remove the wing and inner wing to get to the water pump, but on closer inspection after removing the aircleaner I was able to get to the water pump with out to much of a problem.It would apear the inner seal has dried up but i will know more once I get to take the water pump apart will keep you posted.

HWade Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Update A friend of mine has finally managed to get the water pump apart and the rear seal was totally shot, so I now have to try and track down a seal kit.Hoping to find one at War and Peace. Will keep you updated. Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWade Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hello an update for the Diamond T 975a. I have fitted the water pump back onto the truck and also fitted a new thermostat,I also replaced all of the rubber hoses. I took the truck for a run yesturday and after getting back there was no leaks and the temp kept at a steady 80oC or just under. Before I had no theremostat and found that water would blow from the top of the radiator, having a thermostat has put a stop to this and its running cooler. Well thats it for now. Regards Howard.

gritineye Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Nice to know it's sorted, did you find a seal & thermostat at W & P or were they modern parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWade Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi The seal kit was a new old stock dated 1962 and the thermostat was also new old stock I bought these from David Wildenberg, I did however manage to get some new chain links from a local bearing stockist, the link was for the chain that drives the water pump.
