        Well it seemed like I was losing coolant, and tractor close to overheating. Turns out I can see water coming out around the shaft that the fan is on. Looked at drawing. Maybe the 'ceramic seal' in the water pump is broken, or could it be a bearing?  Hate to run it with such a serious leak.

        Thanks.

            A bad bearing can cause a ceramic seal failure easily, but I doubt they sell rebuild kits for these pumps. Also, dirty coolant will knock out a seal in short order, like minute particles of casting sand left in the block and other debris. That’s why there are coolant filters on larger diesel engines. Coolant cleanliness is very important as it can have a direct effect on engine life and performance.

              Thanks All!  I will order the new pump, flush system. Get it back in order.

                Get ready to fight with the bolts that hold the bottom of the radiator in. Bet they're rusted.  BG

                  whew… you were right!  I decided to spray some brake cleaner and wait a while and that helped.

                    those 2 16mm bolts are in a slightly difficult spot but not to bad, on my 2005 jinma they were not hard to get off.
