Water Pump Leak

I have water that is leaking out the back of my forklift. I believe it may be the water pump. Can anyone let me know how involved the replacement is. Does the counter weight need to be removed? Any advice would be appreciated.

I think that's a Hercules motor. You don't have to remove the counterweight. It's not one of the easier ones. One thing I've noticed is the new pumps have a thicker area on the side/edge of the cast housing that doesn't let the pump sit down tight on the block because it interferes with a bracket or something on the front of the block also. You have to take a grinder and take a little metal off there. Hold the new pump in place and you will see what I mean, it just barely interferes. I don't know what's up with that, but the ones I've done have had that problem with the new pumps (Cats and Daewoo)

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
