Question
I Have a John Deere 445 with a Kawasaki engine that is leaking antifreeze from the front of the motor, dripping down near the main crankshaft or at the radiator hose above the crankshaft? could this be the water pump? seal? any ideas.

Thanks,

Answer
Hello Richard:

Check the Hoses and Clamps and Ensure the Hoses are Good and the Clamps are Tight. It can Be the Thermostat Gasket or the Water Pump also. How Many Hours Running Time has this Engine Had? Send me the Engine Model Numbers, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Engine Manual and Better Assist you. Thanks. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Find. Then Select the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
