I vote that it is a cracked fitting in the supply line or if the hose clamp is not a stainless steel screw worm in it that rusted off and let the clamp loose so it leaks. If the valve in the hydrant was leaking it would probably fill up the pipe and then freeze and break it. They will freeze down to the bottom if they leak. We use a short section of steel pipe at the hydrant to help with holding solid and then put a short hose/line on the hydrant to run the water from the drain back away from the hydrant. Then put some gravel on top of the lines to keep it draining so the water doesn't build up and freeze the hydrant from the water in the dirt. Had that happen one time. We also use a section of PVC pipe in 4 inch over the hydrant so if it needs service it can be unscrewed without digging. Then a cap in the PVC with a hole to fit the hydrant in 2 pieces to slip into the PVC. This keeps dirt and debris out of the hole and holds the hydrant solid at the top. Heavy Clay soil holds the water the reason for the hose/line on the hydrant drain.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
