[Healeys] moss water pump

Mon Oct 7 15:59:41 MDT 2019

Hi gang,

This is not a shot over Michael's bow in any sense.

I just want to let everyone know that the original water pump contains or
will except Massey Ferguson Water pump internals.

In an emergency, I had the water pump on my 63 BJ7 rebuilt by a John Deere
dealer.  The dealer repair man said "no problem, it's a Massey Ferguson
pump".  It took him less than an hour.  The pump worked flawlessly for many
years.  Try rebuilding your original pump instead of supporting County.
They may also be able to rebuild a County pump properly.  Never hurts to
ask.

If Michael can't rebuild it for you, check with your local tractor repair
place.
