Took my 1952 Super C out that I put a belly mower on. I used it for probably 90 minutes. First time for extensive running since replaced a cracked sleeve and first time I had operated the tractor for more than 10 minutes since 1961! Got done and put it away and i noticed liquid on the tractor below the alternator. Looks like the water pump pulley is a little wobbly and I see antifreeze dripping out. I assume time for a new water pump. From the manuals I have it does not look like too bad of a job. Any tricks or things I should look for??
In addition there is some oil there too under the alternator, and it looks like it might be coming from the governor shaft. Can that be taken off easily and sealed up better with a shim or something? I need to replace the governor spring too since it does not idle up or down very quickly. Again, anything I need to watch for? Can I get the tractor out of synch if I take the governor off? Thanks in advance.
