The MB water pumps don't work on testosterone.
Your suggestion may useful in other hydraulic applications, however. |

Or call a taxi to take you to the parts store, or call a friend . . .

wow, this is what I call a consensus! If I had known the water pump was belt driven, I wouldn't have even considered driving it. OK, I'll just fix it where she sits. Thanks for all the input. Larry

If the consensus is too much, you could always ask what kind of oil to use

Exactly my thinking...although he'll hit pretty darn quick if the temps in IL are similar to what they are here in MI today. I don't think he'll make it 10 miles.

My alternator froze and made it home driving 10 miles using a shoe string (sneaker type) connected to the main pulley and water pump.

I've read that a section of a pair of pantyhose will work in a pinch. Much more exciting to obtain them.
What's going on with that outside belt in the picture?
