I have rebuilt one pump so far and broke the impeller also,not a bad job and good pumps. Enjoy your videos and farming . you have a big operation, glad for you, keep up the good work.
thanks for the video. I was working on a Briggs and Stratton 900 series pump and I needed to take off the impeller. I broke it a bit and stopped cause I didn't want to break it completely. so now I know that it's OK.
To remove impeller I heated it with heat gun for 45 seconds then threaded a 7/16 bolt into the impeller body after removing the smaller impeller bolt, the bigger bolt cut threads and pressed against shaft, impeller pulled right off. No plying, breaking, cut etc. Took 5 minutes max.
Surprised I missed this video earlier. I got my Homelite 2" for free because it was locked up - split it, removed mulch, and got it going again. Didn't even need the rebuild.
I saw this and was like, NOPE! Ain't breaking my pump. Thread a bigger bolt into the impeller hole it will thread itself in, push against the shaft and push the impeller off. I searched till I found the answer.
have you tried an impact driver for loosing up the shaft bold? might only need to fix the propeller a little bit, rest is the magic of inertia. actually the same when doing a tire change with an impact driver. mostly no need to fix the wheel.
great job and you got is done. I can see that it is a very difficult job. How on earth that you can do all this stuff! I guess learn or you pay someone else to do it LOL
Damn fine job especially since you are doing all that work that requires two hands with one one hand. You are going to have to spring for a tripod for your camera one of these days so that you will be to show what you are doing and not have worry about dropping the camera.
Try to smear a little Vaseline or other waterproof grease on the shaft. Should make it slide off easier next time. Don't ask how I know! Those pumps are a bit of a throw away deal like most things now days
Nooooo! You don’t pry an impeller off. You put a thread less shaft, smaller than the original bolt in the hole so it bottoms out. Then you thread in a bolt the size and thread count of the outer hole. You tighten it down till it bottoms out on the thread less shaft and it will press the impeller off the shaft.
Is this a trolling video?!?! Lol nice prop removal..... if your showing the wrong way.... You know there is a spot to install a 7/16 nut for removal. This was sad

Yea I have done a few of them now.

I have to tell you that I enjoy all of your videos keep up the good work😉

Man do I miss peavy mart lol. We've been getting a ton of rain too, waiting for the final numbers for this month but i bet its close to 400mm
yea its great.. They just opened a brand new store here... its dangerous.. I feel like buying half the store everytime im there.
Northern farmer worst part is if you bring the wife she wants to buy the other half hahaha
Mac102004 Farms Its who makes it out the door with the credit card first haha
I got a little pump like that, very handy tool.
They sure are... I have 4 of em
on removing the impeller use two screw drivers 180 deg. apart and work them gently at same time (equal pressure both sides)
Where did you get your spare parts to. I would love to know. I have a honda wx10 and wx15 to rebuild
I had another pump for parts

The impeller bolt wasnt really that tight.. just harder when all your using is a allen wrench. The Impeller was trashed anyways
glad you got the thing off :) real farmers know in most cases how to get the job done
It hasn't been this wet in October since 1986, my recollection
I cant remember it being so wet either
80 degrees here in central Ohio today. I hope you were able to to get the last of your crop in .
We might have a window to get the rest this coming week... I will keep you all updated
great job and you got is done. I can see that it is a very difficult job.
How on earth that you can do all this stuff! I guess learn or you pay someone else to do it LOL
Oh its not really that hard... I wish I could do even more.. but im learning even off of youtube.. so I thought I should give back.
Damn fine job especially since you are doing all that work that requires two hands with one one hand. You are going to have to spring for a tripod for your camera one of these days so that you will be to show what you are doing and not have worry about dropping the camera.
Yes it was hard... Shaun usually helps me but hes away working construction surveying
Hi if you take a heat gun and heat up the impeller it will come off a lot easier
Might have
That's when a Dremel tool comes in handy

Or anti sieze. True.. but the engine is great.

5 hours north
