Well, at least you found your problem, impeller not being driven. As far as the springs, the idea of the springs is to push the impeller forward making contact internally on the shoulder of the water pump impeller to the bushing. This establishes correct clearance for impeller fins to housing. Let me predict your next problem, not nearly as serious though. It will not come up to operating temp due to the corrosion in that housing allowing coolant to flow around the tube. It doesn't look too bad but they never fit really close even when new. In the diesel engines there is room to machine a groove for a seal which was used on later model diesel tractor so it prevents coolant from getting past that tube and directly into radiator. Like I said before, you can easily tell if coolant is leaking past by observing flow in tank when engine is cold and running. This is the most common reason for these old farmalls not warming up with out a load on them.
