I had a similar experience with a 1936 Case Model L. The rad would foam something awfull. I though it might be cheap antifreeze so I changed it. It improved a bit but not much so I took the head in to get it magna-fluxed and pressure tested and it passed with flying colors. The head gasket looked OK but of course I installed the head with a new gskt. Still foamed.

I was checking the rad level after cultivating with it, when my brother came over. I asked him if he had ever seen so much foam in a rad. He looked in the rad said it smelled stongly of soap. I have long since lost my sense of smell unless it is very pungent, so I asked dad for an opinion without telling him what my brother had detected. Same thing. Smelled like soap to him too. Dad said it was quite common "back in the day" to use soap or pepper as a stop-leak.

I flushed the system with real good rad flush twice. Put new antifreeze in it and the foam is gone.
