Steve,

I originally installed the short shaft water pump on my 235 but after reading and researching here went ahead and switched to the adapter plate. This was done prior to ever turning the newly remanufactured 235 over. It just makes sense to me. Also, like Fl54 said, I did get a new water pump at Advanced Auto.
