Is it possible to replace the bearings on the fan clutch?
I did on a 450 engine's clutch that is now in the Frankenheap.
It looked particularly rebuildable, which is why I dug into it.
After I finished I figured out that it was not thermostatic,
and only RPM-driven. Not really what I wanted.

Yes, just take the bolt out of the center. If you loosen the belt
(easy on a 603) you can tell if the water pump is bad. Usually leaks
if the bearings are out of it though.
If the fan clutch rattles, replace it.

Reminds me of how wood keeps you warm:
Warms you when you cut it
Warms you when you split it
Warms you when you stack it
Warms you when you haul it
Warms you when you (finally) burn it.

And heres the proof they're talking about the speedo:

So, in these old manuals:
- Tachometer = Speedometer
- Revolution Counter = Tachometer

Supplemental: Since the transducer is near the flex disk, I'm sure it's the
