So, I put a new radiator, hoses, water pump, and misc. parts on my 2n last summer, and while pulling the wood trailer out of the woods last weekend, I heard a terrible noise in the front end.
I stopped and found that the fan and pulley were flopping like a dead fish. I pulled the fan off, thinking the bolts for it had not been tight.
Wrong! the pulley on the water pump is whats moving around.
Has anyone tried to just rebuild the pump? And have they had any luck?
I'm thinking there's just a bearing in the housing, and hoping it's something I could just replace, or best case, re-seat it.
I'd hate to have to buy another water pump, but is this the best choice?
I wish I had saved the old pump, I would look at it before I open this one up.
