Hmmm Pump won't fit!

[EZ]

I have the 383013R94 Wooster pump.
I bought it used to replace a worn out 360687R91 pump on my 130.
Started cleaning it up to paint today when I thought I should try to put it on the tractor first to see how it would fit.

It does not fit!!!!

Almost fits. Looks like I would have to use the die grinder to take a bit of meat off the 130 just above it under the dist. Only need about 1/16".

Everything I looked up before buying said it would fit.

What to do????

The book says it should fit. The problem is probably casting variation on the block. I'd probably apply the die grinder to the block as necessary to make it fit. Since you didn't show a picture, I reserve the right to change my suggestion.

James,
Really just needed some confirmation again that this pump should fit.
I will take a before and after of the cast area and show the pump mounted on the tractor.
It is going to bolt up differently as well, but that all looks easy.

Thanks for the reply.

A little shave with the die grinder and the pump fits like a glove.





Thanks for nudge James.
