Super C vs. C fan bracket

Putting my Super C back together today... I replaced the fan as it's bearings weren't so great, cleaned radiator, rebuilt generator and starter, etc. I see the old fan had some big washers to built it out from the neck. The new fan was from a very experienced dealer, for a 123 engine with a water pump. It hits the water pump pulley with out the spacer washers. Not the two thin ones that come with the kit, I'm talking ones about 1/8 inch x2. This isn't normal I'm assuming? Now the generator belt just barely missed the water pump pully.

I just got this tractor last year and ran it as it was, strictly a cultivator with dressers for my sweet corn, it doesn't work 3 hours a year. The tool box was gone when I got it, so I have no idea of it's serial number. Most all of it's parts have an R in the part number somewhere. I look that up and it says 1948, but there was no Super's back then, right?

Could this fan bracket/gooseneck be from a C, and that's why it doesn't fit right??

Thanks for the help!
 
1951 was the first year for Super C. If your brake pedal and cluth arms are straight, then it's a C. If they are curved, it's a Super.
 
Check and see if your fan is only hitting on two
blades, mine was, and after fighting it for a week
I used a cresant wrench and tweaked the new fan
blades. It has been fine for 10 years.
 
IH furnished fans from two manufacturers, maybe more: Schwitzer-Cummins. This had just one washer between puller and thermostat water outlet.
Service-Products: This didn't have any washer.
Whether this is what was furnished on the C, I don't know.
 
I have in the past just bent the blades so they dont hit the water pump as you do need the fan pulley to line up with the crank pulley.
 
Did you use the same fan, or a whole different assembly. There may be a difference in the fan blades. Back in the seventies, my father bought a kit to add a water pump to our C. It came with a new fan, which had slightly narrower blades to clear the water pump.
 

Thanks all for your help! I'll just leave it go with the washers, this fan came from India, so who knows what else they made it to fit. I didn't want to bend the blades that far. I used a new fan shaft forward, the one I took off was identical to this one, it was a replacement as well. Could have been stretched so tight it destroyed the bearings.

Thanks again!
