Back in the early 70's my dad got a kit from IH to put a water pump on our C. It included a new fan assembly, and a different head gasket. As I recall the coolant passages in the gasket were smaller than the ones in the old gasket we took out. The fan blades were narrower than the original to clear the end of the pump shaft, and I think the pulley was smaller. The kit may also have had a new thermostat. I know that the price was some over a hundred dollars, and it made Dad wince a little when he saw it. However, we used to do a valve job on that tractor every two or three years, after it got the water pump it was more like every ten years, and the valves were in much better shape when it was disassembled. At that time the C was used for all the mowing and most of the raking on sixty acres of hay, plus another fifty acres of pasture mowing, thirty miles of town roadsides, and a whole bunch of snowplowing in the winter. Now it is taking it easy, with a little trimming of hayfields, some raking and about a hundred acres of rough mowing. The snow plow and chains haven't even been put on in the last five years. It just sits all winter.
