Looking for a reverse rotation fresh water pump for 1972 Perkins 6.354. TAD, Foley, Diesel specialist, Perkins are no help. They will only rebuild one if the housing and impeller are in good shape.
I have been pondering this too. I wonder if an automotive electric replacement is available? I would rather have something replaceable should the need arise, or at the very least, be able to carry a spare that is an easy replacement. You could also easily rig an amperage gauge failsafe buzzer to it so you could catch a failure well before the temp sensor fired off a warning.
But this is just a theory. I am sure it will be full of hole by the time I come back to check on this thread ;o)
Tom-

A friend of mine builds Hot Rods and he sometimes uses an electric water pump on some. But you still have to have a special made housing made up. Still be cheaper than replacing the engines.
Do you have a part number?
I'd bet an adapter plate would be easy enough to fabricate.
Rick, I think it's #41312322 for the complete pump.
Now, Anybody read german?
Found the pump in Germany. N.Peterson Landtechnik - Wasserpumpe Claas Perkins A6-354, T6-354.4 Wasserpumpe fr Claas COOLCLA03.
169 euros = 219.6662 US dollars, a pretty reasonable price plus freight.
