I am new to this board and have been lloking through all of the posts and all I can say is WOW! This is bar none the best tractor oriented board I have run across. I look forward to reading more but first I have a question of my own that I'm sure you guys and gals can help with.
I have a ford 3000 and the fan bearings are shot. The fan still moves but makes a LOT of bad sounding noise and I can move it about 1/4 inch with my fingers. I know it needs to be replaced but it looks like it will be more complicated that I want to tackle. I don't see how it will come off without removing all of the radiator and front end.
Can anyone give me an idea of how much a repair like this will run me? I will be calling the dealer later in the week but just wanted an idea before I got "sticker shock" from him!
Thanks in advance!
