Thanks to all of those who posted on my other post about the "fan clutch" issue I had been told about.
It turns out the BN in question has one of the exhaust lifts on it for the cultivators. Apparently this is in a state of disrepair. I guess something is cracked or missing and has allowed water into the engine through the hole in the manifold.
So, this is a slightly larger problem than just loosening a fan belt unfortunately
It was running this spring, so perhaps its not too bad yet, but I have no idea the extent of the problem yet. Ill report back when I can pick them up and give a good once over next week.
I appreciate the input so far, and Im sure there will be more questions to come.
