After 2 years running the 235 in my 52 1/2 ton, The adaptor plate is looking better and better. The location of the fan at the bottom is not ideal. The relocation of the radiator forward and down is not ideal either. You may have found a bad bearing/seal. The good news is the fan is still on the pump. That is about it. I do have a radiator with a 10 inch hole in the center from the same fail. The fan and pulley slid off the shaft when the bearing failed. Not a good day.
