Is it common that the upper mounting bracket for the generator bolts onto the water pump? That's the way mine is, and I didn't know if it originally came that way, or if the PO changed something.
I converted mine over to an alternator and used the same bracket. Of course, when I loosened the bolt to adjust it, it immediately began leaking coolant till I got it retightened. Just seems like a strange place to mount that bracket.
Also, I may end up replacing that water pump at some point, as it's starting to get a little noisy. The parts book I have gives a part number for the pump. The two places I have checked (this site and Steiner's) only show one water pump available for this tractor. It claims to replace several different numbers of pump, none of which match the no. shown in my parts book. Not exactly sure what to do here. Also, if I have to fasten that bracket to a brand new pump, is it going to start leaking also?
