Just wanted to say this is a great DIY service video and suggesting pump saver at the end of the video is another valuable piece of advice. Allparts Equipment

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well kzfaq.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

Great video! Anyone who has problems sliding the pump off after removing bolts, just tap it with a hammer or use a small pry bar. Shaft is likely corroded causing it to hang up.

Thanks for the video. I did the same to my power washer last winter.

Great video. I did the same thing to mine. Also a Simpson, also didn't winterize, also cracked in almost the exact spot. I was able to find the manifold without the pump, but it was about the same price so I'm wishing I'd gone for the whole pump replacement. Oh well, at least it works.

Your video was exactly what I needed! Replaced the pump in no time. I was a bit annoyed that the new bolts needed a hex wrench to tighten them, not a conventional wrench. Very, very tedious.

Nice job Greg!

Thanks great simple video loved it you didn’t tell us what had for breakfast or about any new girlfriends thanks again.

Speaking of homesteading and water pressure I just had to replace my 1/2 horse deepwell pump yesterday. We've had cistern water all my life, never had city water up on this Mountain. We got a 10,500 gallon concrete cistern that we use for our front porch. It's like 24x12 I think. Have a old 1960 c50 Viking we haul water with. 1600 gallon per tank.

Reading the comment, a lot of folks have the exact same Crack spot. Myself included. Gonna have to use that pump winterizer this year.

Thank you so much for the information

Great video, my question is I see a little sticker that says use 15w40 oil in pump. Where do you put it in at? In my 4000psi it has an inlet on top. Thanks in advance

Fabuloso. Thanks 🙏🏼.

Saludos boricuas. Quisiera saber si la pompa de agua se puede reparar.

Mine cracked in the same spot. Bought the new pump, but cannot get the super soft bolts off. The top two came off fine, but the bottom ones are torqued so tight and cannot remove them and are slightly rounding the heads. The size of the head isn't exactly a metric nor a standard size and the metal is so soft. Ugh.

Question....Is there a reason you replaced the entire pump vs just that front part that cracked? I did the exact same thing as you and didn't winterize, which caused mine to crack in the same spot. Looks like you could pull the three bolts with an allen wrench and remove just the water in/outtake and then save the rest of the pump housing for the future when/if the pump actually dies.

What do I look for to knw if the pump will work with my power washer

How do you check the oil in your pump

was that petroleum jelly you used?

Can I add a viper pump or general pump to this ? Instead of the original

What lubricant did you use?

Hey. I have removed the 4 bolts but the pump will not slide off. Any thoughts

Good time to change the engine oil while you are replacing the pump

Did you put Oil?

Only problem is the base of pressure washer is to compact. Pump protector fluid cannot screw in properly.

Great video! Why bother to winterize if taking the pump off is that easy? I will be taking my pump off and storing in a heated basement for winter. Why take the chance the antifreeze does it job. Antifreeze is nasty stuff. Thanks for showing how easy!

Any specific torque values for the bolts?

what kind of lubricant did ya use?

Would this work on my Honda gc 190 3200 2.4 gpm bro??

Does this pump not use oil? I've looked at it but don't see a fill/drain

Do u know if u can get a better pump for that pressure washer?

Hey greg! Update on the deer? How are they :-D

my pump is leaking from the head

Where'd you buy the pump? How much $$$?

Don't do what this guy did and that is when he installed the pump bolts he did not use loctite. This machine vibrates so much that it will shake those bolts loose and it will chew up that pump. ALWAYS use loctite. My machine had the bolts backed off because by factory they cheaped out and didn't use any. Luckily I happened to look down after a few minutes of use and I saw my pump dancing around in place and one of the 4 bolts fell off. I went ahead and put blue loctite on the bolts and never had a problem again. There's too much shaking going on with these small engines so it is recommended to use the stuff. Loctite is cheap and is well worth it and saves you ALOT OF MONEY.

no need for a gasket?

I’ve never seen a guy so happy to replace a part that shouldn’t have failed in the first place. These Simpson pumps are total junk obviously if many people are seeing failure at the same spot. Why isn’t that connection area piece replaceable only. If failure is so common without winterizarion, why isn’t a winterizer kit a part of the purchase.

Can I just get the gasket for this pump? I live in Florida so mine didn’t freeze or crack. But after like 10-15 hours on the engine it started squirting water and has no pressure. Shitty quality pump design in my opinion

bolt type is different on may of the models. this will not work and is not easy in any way
