<div dir="ltr"><div>Michael,</div><div><br></div><div>When I purchased my 1966 BJ8 it came with an extra water pump that I was told was an original pump that had been rebuilt, I assume your rebuild kits are for an original pump but I am not sure how to tell an original 1966 BJ8 pump. The extra pump I have is cast iron but does not have the opening that shows the copper wire bearing retainer. The only number on the pump is by the outlet and is 170836. Any help identifying an original would be appreciated. Thanks for your time !!</div><div><br></div><div>John</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 4:54 PM, Michael Salter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michaelsalter@gmail.com" target="_blank">michaelsalter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi Fred,<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">The Massey-Ferguson engine is a derivation of the TR4 wet sleeve 4 cylinder; or perhaps the other way around :-).<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">From memory the seal is the same as the later BJ7/8 pump but as I recall although the bearing shaft is the same length and diameter and the OD of the outer is the same the overall length of the outer is shorter and the races are closer together.

<div><div dir="ltr">I understand that most of the Brits of the era shared some parts with tractors, Triumph especially. For that reason it's possible to cross reference water pump repair kits in some instances and source them from Tractor Supply stores.
