Thank you. I got 37 years out of it, I can't complain about that.The 60 PS pump has a bronze bushing rather than a ball bearing like the 62 does. When that bushing starts to wear out the force from the belt starts to pull the shaft and it quickens the demise of that bushing. Eventually it will lead to the seals failing.
My guess is that it’s getting close to time for the Saginaw pump @MoaByte. You’re buying yourself some time by lubing that bushing up.
It’s not a replaceable part either, so you can’t rebuild the pump. And rebuilt pumps from rock auto or the like didn’t change the bushing so they fail rapidly.
Why do you think the bushing isn't replaceable? It may not be available as a replacement part, but it's definitely replaceable.The 60 PS pump has a bronze bushing rather than a ball bearing like the 62 does.

Sure, if you have a machine shop and can remove the old one and fabricate a replacement. It could be done. I’m saying as a general serviceable part it’s not replaceable and there’s a reason it’s not done on any of the remanufactured units available on the market today. It’s way easier to modify the bracket with a grinder and install a Saginaw pump.Why do you think the bushing isn't replaceable?

Does the gearbox need to be replaced as well if doing the SAG pump?!@MoaByte listen to @cps432 - Sag is the way.
Yes you could make the unobtainable bushing and press the old out and the new in. Check for play, possibly do it over again, etc. Some time and money and know how and it might work. Or buy a Saginaw pump for like $80 from the parts store and spend 25 minutes installing and bleeding it.
It’s not 100% necessary. However, the old box will have old seals. The sag pump has much higher pressure output and will lead to old seals failing quicker than they normally would.Does the gearbox need to be replaced as well if doing the SAG pump?!

If anyone wants a new bushing, I'd be glad to turn one for them. PM me.Sure, if you have a machine shop and can remove the old one and fabricate a replacement. It could be done.

If you or someone you know has replaced that bushing then I would buy you a damn beer because holy hell that’s amazing.

Not to derail this thread but search “Cruiser Trash Parts thread” - I made a post about it there.There is something endearing about seeing TOYODA spelled out under the hood. Honestly I thought about how much I'd miss that when weighing the pros vs cons. I'm so glad you are taking this on. Count me in!
Drove a girl home from a bar the other night with the landy.....ran like a champ on one of its maiden voyages... no kiss goodnight though! Right of passage nonetheless. More to come this week!Gosh I wish I had known about this 60 series FAQ page on day 1!

Is there a way to get a metric on how many page views this thread has had ALL TIME? Theres at least 10 people watching it at all times, and im really curious how many have seen my thread!
If you could get this metric from the WebDev fellas at corporate who have access to analytics, or recommend an email to me Id consider it an early XMAS present
