Product Overview
The pump maintains coolant circulation through Deere's engine and radiator circuit. Bearing noise, hub play, coolant leakage from the pump area or recurring overheating are common reasons to inspect it.
On Deere equipment, model number alone can cover multiple engine serial breaks; the pump/reference number should decide fitment.
Key Features & Performance
- Maintains coolant circulation: Keeps coolant moving through the engine and radiator so heat can be rejected under working load.
- Serviceable wear point: Seal leakage, shaft play, bearing noise or pulley wobble are common reasons to replace an aging pump.
- Fitment by engine and pump geometry: Casting, hub height, pulley arrangement and reference number should match the original pump.
- Product-specific note: On Deere equipment, model number alone can cover multiple engine serial breaks; the pump/reference number should decide fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm this is the correct part?
Verify the original pump number and engine serial number, especially on 6068 applications with production breaks.
Is this an OEM part?
Unless the listing is explicitly identified as genuine/OEM in the product data, treat it as a replacement component. Use the verified reference numbers, equipment application and physical configuration above to match your original part.
What should I check before installation?
Check fan/pulley bearings and belt condition while the cooling drive is accessible.
Fitment note: Equipment manufacturers may use different components within the same model family based on engine, serial number or production date. Confirm the original part number and machine/engine details before ordering.
