I thought I had seen it all but now I am completely stumped. Was out mowing hay with the Massey 35 which is my backup tractor since the Farmall had a problem this morning. 35 has been overheating, gradually worse over the years. I just try to clean the radiator fins and carry on, and when the temp gauge gets hot I wait till it cools down. Tonight I heard a sound and when I shut off the tractor to look I saw that two of the fan blades had broken off right by where they are riveted to the hub on the water pump. They are opposite blades on a 4 blade fan, what would be 3 and 9 oclock. The other two are still there and look fine, there is no sign of damage to the tips like they had hit anything. I was able to find one of the broken off blades and it looks like it was metal fatigued or something. One blade made a hole in the radiator near the top. I have never seen this happen before, if anyone can shed any light on the problem I would appreciate it. Zach

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
