    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Here is my parts list, all from John Deere. Thanks for helping me compile it. Included is the short piece of coolant hose which goes into a metal tube headed toward the oil cooler. I found mine to be hard like a rock so it should be replaced, it is expensive. The long metal tube attaching to...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Whoa! Page 2 here. Thanks! Back from the dealer to return the shortie tube. Things are looking up! No problem with the pump housing gasket since they had the right one in stock and it even was a hamburger's price cheaper than other one I had from them. They even had the seal and driver in...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Thanks again. Yes, no matching hole in the back plate, so a hole to no where. Interestingly, a hole on the backplate-to-block gasket matches it. I could cut-off some superfulous gasket coverning the extended "boot-shaped/Italy "cavity on the T20242, not present on the R55# gasket, since the...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    I'm getting ready to return the shortie tube to the dealer and get my 48$ back, but right now, I am trying to figure out my misstep on the part number, so I am retracing my steps. So when I went to the water pump page in the John Deere catalogue, there was only one version of tube given: the...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Thanks. My shop manual, at least in the water pump section, does not show the removal of the pulley/fan hub at all, but a press is shown being used for all the other procedures of disassembly and reassembly. The press-on pulley hub is quite close to the housing and my press plates will not fit...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Thank you Jim.ME. Very useful information. That eBay seller is out of the office for the weekend, but I did send her a message. Going with that part seems the best path for me with as much as I know. Your comment about the tube needing a little play in the bore is well-taken. With the play I...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Thanks for everyone's time to help me. I have had some private messages, too and I will thank those individuals separately. My 2630 engine serial number is 204565T. The casting number on the bottom thermostat housing half is R54808. There does seem to be some variation with the pumps...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    Thank you for your replies and assistance gentlemen. Dairy tube of 29mm OD is exactly what I was looking as a starting point. I think 1.5 mm is about the thickness of the stock Deere tube. I also found that SS tube selling on Amazon in 2mm thickness, 500mm in length. Only around 6 thousands...

    2630 John Deere water coolant pump rebuild

    I am in the process of rebuilding the water pump on my 2630 and have been slowed down by one problem. What I am stuck on is that I cannot obtain the steel tube which goes between the top of the pump to the lower thermostat housing. Seals with o-rings on both ends. John Deere doesn't have it. It...

    2630 JD sudden hydraulic loss

    Thanks for posting that Jim. I am sorry I didn't conclude this thread but I was interrupted by a severe onslaught of sciatica, and only just today I was able to get back on the tractor to test whether replacing the hydraulic transmission filter did any good. It did. That was the problem. I...

    2630 JD sudden hydraulic loss

    Power steering was dropping out intermittently. Today, ran to town to get a pressure gauge. Started the tractor and the remote pressure is 2250 psi. It has a new hydraulic filter now. I'll experiment with the tractor tomorrow and see what is going on with the pressure as I operate the...

    2630 JD sudden hydraulic loss

    Thanks gentlemen. I'll take a look at the pressure control valve, probably will pull the pump, which doesn't look too hard to do. I'll report back.

    2630 JD sudden hydraulic loss

    Just to be sure, is the 5 gallon bucket under the transmission filter removed housing test is about one gallon of fluid for 15 seconds of cranking, or is that running?

    2630 JD sudden hydraulic loss

    This particular filter relief valve doesn't have any locating tangs on the end like one I saw pulled apart on YouTube. Spoke with a local John Deere dealer about the repair and the cost potential is very sobering, he said up to $8,000! They do a diagnosis first before splitting the tractor...
