Gear — Water Pump Drive (37-tooth)
Application: EMD 645 and 710 series water pump assemblies
Part of our Water pump product line
The Gear — Water Pump Drive (37-tooth) is identified by EMD Part No. 8042976 and DLW Part No. 16141740. EMD parts references identify 8042976 as the Water Pump Drive Gear, while EMD water-pump component listings specify it as a 37-tooth gear and cross-reference DLW Part No. 16141740. The gear is used in the water-pump drive arrangement for EMD 645 and 710 series applications. For procurement and maintenance, it should be identified using the correct EMD and DLW part numbers together with the specified 37-tooth configuration.
How This Part Works
The Gear — Water Pump Drive (37-tooth) is a rotating drive component of the EMD water-pump assembly. It transmits rotational drive through the water-pump drive arrangement to operate the pump's rotating components. The gear works with the water-pump drive shaft and associated keyed components within the assembly. Correct gear condition and engagement are important for proper water-pump drive operation.
Signs It's Time to Replace
- Tooth wear or damage: abnormal wear, chipping, pitting, or damage to the gear teeth should be assessed during inspection
- Surface deterioration: scoring or other abnormal surface damage should be investigated
- Abnormal gear engagement: irregular engagement with the mating drive components can indicate gear or associated-component wear
- Excessive backlash: abnormal movement between mating gear components should be investigated
- Unusual noise or vibration: changes in water-pump drive noise or vibration can indicate deterioration of rotating or gear components
- Visible cracking or deformation: physical damage to the gear should be assessed before continued service
