Just out of curious, did you own the tractor since new? Has it been cranked up? A stock tractor shouldn't really overheat regardless of how hard it is worked or how long. If it is cranked up, well. . . that is another story, but it must have been cranked up pretty heavily or it had marginal cooling capacity to begin with. Just because you flushed the radiator doesn't mean it is clean. Have you felt around the radiator for cold spots? Can you look through the radiator everywhere (including the area behind the oil cooler)? Is the coolant actually circulating or flowing? Is the fan belt tight? Is the thermostat opening? Most older tractors were run with hard well water in the coolant. The lime and rust builds up in the coolant passages and in the radiator cores plugging up areas and forming cold spots in the radiator and hot spots in the head. I would check out all of the above before I would try getting a bigger radiator.
