That does help and I appreciate it very much. My question at this point is; when installing the fan belt pulley assembly to the water pump shaft, how tight should this be? My fan belt pulley assembly fits very tight when trying to slide it onto the shaft. Is this normal? How is the best way to get the fan belt installed? When in the process should this be done?
 
The pulley should be a good fit, but not a press fit. Meaning, there shouldn't be any play. If your water pump looks identical to the one in the photo, you should be able to loosen or remove the set screw on the back of the pulley and adjust the width of the v-groove allowing you to install the pulley without fighting the belt. I believe that the back half of the pulley is threaded on, but I'm not positive. If it is, turn the pulley accordingly to loosen or tighten the belt once everything is installed.
 
Thanks again. It looks the same but I do not remember seeing a set screw on the pulley. I will check that out and let you know.
As far as how snug it is, when I slide the pulley assembly on the water pump shaft, the threads barely come through. I have to hit it with a rubber mallet to get it to expose a significant portion of the threads. I do not know if this is normal or not. I really look forward to getting this or girl up and running again. I don't know much about case tractors but I really like the looks of the old CC. The reason that the water pump was removed is because it seized up. I sent it to a gentleman in Minnesota and who solved that problem. It came back to me in two pieces. Trying to get it ready to reinstall.
 
I managed to keep dad's CC Case in the family for 65 years. A few years ago, the water pump developed a leak both running and stopped. I sent it off to get it rebuilt at TCM? in Iowa. They did great work on several DC pumps that I had rebuilt. Here are some important point about the CC pump.

I installed the rebuild pump. It still leaked when stopped but NOT when running. That meant the face seal could seal. The puzzle was why would the seal not hold the fluid when stopped. The DC pump has a cartridge seal with an integral preload spring. The CC has a different preload method.

The CC seal is preloaded by a spring pushing forward on the outer race of the ball bearing. It is important that the ball bearing have a SLIP fit at its OD. Rust or crud at the bearing OD can hold the bearing tight and not allow the face seal to be loaded. It is also important that the spring be in good condition and push against the ball bearing.

I took the rebuilt pump apart and the spring was missing. I had decided that, when running, the fan was pulling forward (like a propeller) and putting enough load on the face seal to prevent it from leaking. When stopped with the spring missing, the seal was not preloaded---allowing a leak.
 
I did examine the Pulley Assembly closer and there is a small bolt that you can remove along with a small piece of threaded material. Once you do this, you can unscrew the back side of the pulley which widens the V groove. I have the two pieces assembled now (the pulley assembly and the water pump) and it is nice and snug with no play. Everything is looking good and I hope to get it all put back together soon. Thank you so much for all your help.
