[AT] What the H?

[Cecil Bearden]

You won't be sorry.    It takes me 3 times longer to repair my equipment 
now, because when I tear it down, I will fix everything that needs it 
and fix it to last.  I may not be able to work on this junk in a few 
years, so I don't want it to break down again.

I don't have time to look at it now, I've got various lawn mower style engines torn apart getting ready for grass season.  I think it has to be the radiator or lower hose, if it was the water pump, I don't think it would wet on the tires, it's parked a little nose high under the shed on the back of my shop.  I never liked how hard it was to get an H radiator off, and I suspect that there are no more local radiator repair shops....
