This is my deal.
I have a 1945 Farmall A that I recently overhauled the engine on. Now after doing this the front axle was giving me more problems (actually, the piviot pit busted in half and the front end came close to the earth, if it wasn't for my snowplow brackets made from an H loader it would of kissed the ground-had a guy make me a hardened-steel pin) so while I fixed it the radiator started leaking. Now I looked at the whole radiator and almost the entire lower tank was patched up. --I'll have you know there wern't no heating problems yet--Well I had a radiator from my parts (what is believed to be Super A1 with a badly damaged C-123 engine)tractor. So I put that on and found a pressurized cap for it since the old one was different and a few months ago after I plow snow or dirt with that monsterous Western truck plow on it I noticed the radiator steemed up quite a bit.
A few weeks ago I got it out again, without the plow on, and in five minutes that thing was steaming pretty good. I don't know why it started to do this, my '46 BN never has a problem with its ThermoSyphon system, but this A does.
The question is-is there some stuff that you can put in the radiator to unclogg it and flush it out? In my part of the village its expensive to have someone boil the radiator.
--If not, is it alright to use the A that way?(Please note even though the plow and brackets can stand serious plowing, I have yet to go that far with it.)
Thanks

The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
