Massey Ferguson 4609 water pump replacement

reco31 · Sunday at 9:31 AM

Hello everyone,
My water pump is shot and needing replacing. Quick question, which way am I turning the pump fan to remove? I’ve given it a go in both directions, clockwise and counterclockwise. Looking from the front the fan turns clockwise.
Many thanks

Usually the hub that retains the fan has 4 bolts into the hub. Once the fan is unbolted from the hub and removed the pulley and hub are removed with a puller.

Thanks Lou but I know the fan and hub spin off the pump shaft because it did when the bearing blew. My sister spun it back on and drove it home about 1 kilometre. For the life of her she can’t remember which way she spun it back on haha

I looked at all three 4609 versions, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 4609M, Tier 4 2015-19 and they all show the same fan, hub, pulley assembly held on with 4 bolts like @LouNY said.

Oh wow, now I’m confused. I just went out with my sister and she showed me what fell off. It was the fan and hub assembly that came off the pump. From the pump, there was about a 3/8 thread shaft that she spun the fan/hub assembly back on.
