Radiator over heating problem
I just had a clutch job done at the local Case dealership on my Farmall Super A and now the thing over heats and steams up. I ask them if there was anything that could have changed in the overhaul process and they said no ! They did replace 2 of the soft plugs in the engine block , but said that shouldn't affect the cooling system . It didn't over heat before it was torn down for the repair.Any suggestions ???

Flush ----
Did exactly that yesterday John . Used a Prestone 10 minute flush and after a 15 minute running , I flushed with clean water , then replaced the anti-freeze. Now what I need to do is run it and see if that has helped. They had replaced 2 soft plugs in the block, could have stirred up the crud

Thanks guys,
I flushed it and cleaned it with radiatior cleaner then strained the (new) anti-freeze ( alot of dirt) and it works fine . My dad always said, " if you can't do it, know somebody who can "

JB - it sounds like the dealer dumped new antifreeze into the tractor without a clean and flush even though they replaced some freeze plugs and probably knocked a lot of scale loose in the process.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

They did ----
(supposedly) put new anti-freeze in . At least I was charged for 2 gallons . After I drained it (to flush) , I "strained" it before replacing and there was a lot of residue.

I agree with BD There a a whole lot of things on a 50 year old cub you could just put new for about $150.00 each and be ok for another 50 years. ONLY 10 and there goes $1500.00. Bet i could find more than 10. Be sides if all 1200 of us did that it would add up to a whole lot of pollution unnecessarily. I am not against all pollution but would like to keep it under a DULL ROAR.
