I am new here and looking for answers for a problem on my 1957 Ford Workmaster tractor. My tractor has factory power steering. The PS pump locked up one day and I have now rebuilt the pump with new bearings. On installation I find the pulley on the front of the crankshaft just spins free, it sits in front of the cast steel water pump pulley. There is a plate with 4 bolts through it into the cast pulley. Has anyone had this problem and can I get the cast WP pulley off without taking off the front wheels and lowering the suspension? I ask this so I might know what I am in for before I start taking it apart. I have 45 years working on Dodge Power Wagons but this is one and only tractor. I have attached a couple photos. While i have the shroud off I am replacing an intermittent ign. switch and repairing a broken wire to the fuel sender. The fuel sender looks just like the ones used on my old Dodge Power Wagons. My tractor has 2475.4 hours on it, it does not seem like much but I don't know much about tractors.
Thanks John
