Ok - followed the advice, didn't use the tractor, pulled fan off, pulled the pump, used a 3 jaw puller to get the pulley off. Bearing was totally shot.
Local parts place had a water pump in stock, matched up with old pulley (could have been 3/4" hole or 15/16" hole.
Had to order T-stat and radiator hoses...will be here in a couple days...that's ok.
Going to go put things back together later this evening...
Here is my questions:
1. How liberally do I apply the high-temp sealant to the gaskets? Instructions say a little around each bolt hole...cleaning the parts up seemed like they applied a good bead along the whole thing...
2. The bell part of the pulley housing which goes around the stub part of the water pump...best way to describe it...was filled with what looked to be a half inch of old grease/grime/dirt...got it scraped clean...when I press the pulley onto the shaft...do I put any kind of grease or whatever in there? Or just assemble dry....
Thanks in advance...
2 errors for me so far: 1. When I parked it to take sheet metal off last night (before I got the advice to not run it anymore)...I had left the dump trailer behind it....intending to use the tractor a little bit waiting for parts... So, I thought I was being smart when I went out to get started and decided to drain the radiator to speed myself along later...then after it drained...I realized I needed to move the tractor to unhook dump trailer in order to hook it to a different tractor. So, I filled it up with water for the 30 seconds on run time...I guess that helped flush the radiator a little. Lol.
2. Dumb move #2. Had mounting bolts arranged on a piece of cardboard in the order I took them off. Grabbed them to bring to the bench grinder's brush attachment to clean 40 years' worth of rust off and, without thinking, jumbled them all up. Each one is a different length. So that will be fun later.
Thanks for the help...thanks in advance for the answers to the questions above.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
