Was putting the combine back in the shed tonight, as we are expecting some rain early tomorrow. When I shut it off, I climbed up the rear ladder to check the exhaust flapper (a family of birds have made me very mad in the past). Sure enough, I see a puddle of coolant on the fuel tank, and the back. The water pump has some serious wiggle to it. Of course, I can't get parts tonight, and with the holiday, tomorrow is out as well.

In the mean time, can I repair it, or should I just get a reman? It is an F2

Our toro mower just died today like it was out of gas. But it wasn't. Got family coming Sunday. It's ten years old and never missed a beat.
