Last week when my fan broke loose and buried itself in the radiator, it did more damage than I first thought. I finally got a chance to tear in to it to day and here is what I found. The Fan bracket that the fan mounts too broke (I'm not sure if this is what caused the whole problem or not) and the fan took a chip out of the pulley on the crankshaft, bent the cover over the block just below the governor and damaged both the hood and the grill. (not to mention the nice gouge in the radiator. ) Here my questions, first how hard is it to replace the pulley on the crankshaft? This may be the deciding factor if that ole gal isn't pushed behind the shed and I start looking for a another A or Super A. (I guess a 100 or 130 would be nice too) Second, since the fan bracket needs to be replaced, should I go ahead and put a water pump on it? When you do put water pumps on these old therma-syphon machines, do you also use a thermostat? This is starting to look expensive and I was going to tear it down this fall and rebuild the engine as she has been smoking a lot and using quite a bit of oil. The problem now is, the grass is getting taller and I see no chance of getting this thing back together and running soon. Sorry for the long rant, but this one may have me beat. Keith

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
