This hasn't been a good tractor day.
In a perfect world, an N water pump will squeak or leak before it tosses the fan into the radiator. But alas, we do not live in a perfect world.
No warning on this.
The 'new style' shaft does not have a groove in it w/ a keeper pin. The pulley is pressed on to the shaft. The 'new' shaft (w/o the pulley)is on the left. Compare that to the one on the right.
According to the rebuild shop, the old style shafts are NLA, but he might have one around.
The radiator shop thinks they can fix the radiator.
Oh well, at least it didn't happen in the middle of the garden season. And the anti-freeze needing changing anyway.
