I have an Allis Chalmers 7040 and the fan is slightly loose. Do I just tighten up the bolts holding it on or is there a bushing that needs to be replaced?

Replace water pump before fan goes through radiator. MACK

Like Mack says......I suppose there is a very slim chance it could just be bolts, but unlikely.

Thanks Gents. I bought a new pump. Anything I should be aware of when I do the replacement?

You might want to change the thermostats while it is drained down so you know there won't be an issue later

Good luck getting the aluminum fan spacer off the nose of the water pump hub.
