Goulds Shallow Well Pump Shaft Seal and Motor Adapter Removal

[@cvillefarmer]

Thank you for this series! Helped me get it apart and figure of the problem instead of having to buy a new pump and motor! Now just finding where to order them from

[@joshmccommon2280]

Instead of using a screwdriver to pry the head off the pump, a good smack from a rubber mallet will pop it off, no risk of damaging the seal or breaking the tip of the screwdriver. Thank You for the video I needed a little refresher course on the shaft seal replacement. I thought I was missing a step in the process, I was go figure lol, it's been 10yrs since my last rebuild. I forgot about removing the back to knock out the rest of the old seal. Thanks again!!!

Great video - thank you. Would you consider a video showing an overhaul of the motor, specifically - bearings. I have a hsj10n that seems to Have a little bearing scream going on. Not afraid to get into it myself. But it would be nice to know what I’m going to get into.

[@mainelyelectric]

If it’s really the motor that is making noise then there’s not really much that can be replaced without specific tools. I personally took my motor apart piece by piece just to remove a fried dead snake and bugs making it over heat and it was very hard and time consuming. It will most likely will be cheaper to order a replacement motor from your local Gould’s dealer. But still save and use the pump till it 100% dies for some parts.

@@mainelyelectric Hi Ben, thanks for the reply. I actually did tackle it and had great success. All the noise was coming from the bearing on the pump end. All I had to buy is two bearings from a local Bearing shop in Springfield mass- cost was $16. Quiet and smooth now 👌🏽

[@mainelyelectric]

I’ve used a small bit of silicone spray for years when servicing my Gould’s J5S irrigation pump it helps a lot removing the spring shaft seal.

Are you still answering questions about this video? I have a question about the seal in the adapter housing. One side of the seal is rubber and the other side has a white plastic. Which way is it installed? With the rubber or white plastic piece facing the spring?

[@cvillefarmer]

Just disassembled my j15s, rubber was away from it

my jet pump isn't sucking up water from my well what do I have to replace

[@NeilSucalit]

What is the size of the bearing inside the motor

[@9631612]

Thank you for these videos! Would you have any idea why mine still sprays water while pumping out near the motor adapter? I just replaced the the complete seal and spring, and ceramic, everything....I was very careful....still sprays water just like before I rebuilt it.???

[@zeppone4045]

Your motor adapter may be cracked somewhere

@@zeppone4045 actually I found out I didn't have the seal installed correctly. 🙃

If pump run out of water will the pump run again if I Fill it up with water my pump been down for a while now and can seem to have no water pump out yet

[@douglastrimner6055]

I just replaced shaft seal on mine, hoping wd40 will not harm new seal. Noticed afterwards should be lubed with only water. Hoping I'll be alright???

[@abm2958]

It's a ceramic seal, water only..

[@louapuzzio4595]

What do you use to clean the inside of the pump

[@abm2958]

Soak the parts with CLR, Iron Out, or vinegar.

[@ralphm6234]

Do you happen to know the color code for these pumps. I need to paint mine. Thanks.

[@jamesa6272]

Pink

[@gregorgman]

I turn on my pump, it clicks but the motor doesnt turn, it will blow the breaker if I leave it on long enough, (10+ seconds). Dont know if the motor is frozen, its just over one year old has hardly been used. Any recommendations, thanks....?

[@mainelyelectric]

Sounds like something is jamming the motor. I would suggest you take the pump housing apart like the guy in this video and then see if you can turn the impeller by hand. Then if you can’t find why it is jammed if it’s not jammed then I would probably guess it might be your start capacitor. Let me know if you find the cause.

[@gregorgman]

@@mainelyelectric Thanks Ben, it was the on-shaft bearing, frozen to it via Rust. Thanks.
