Moving Lawn Tractors

[jeepman3071]

This thread reminded me that I need to replace the water pump in my old Kubota rider. I was mowing one evening and the fan started hitting the shroud. Looks like a bearing just failed.. it has extreme play in the fan shaft.

Her workload has greatly been reduced, but I try to mow with it a few times a year. I also use it to haul my little yard wagon or sprayer. I also added a block heater so I can run it in the winter for firewood.

Actually just helped a friend replace the water pump on his Ford 1710 tractor. The water pump bearing was so bad, it was squeaking while running and you could see the fan wobbling back and forth almost hitting the radiator.
