gene: What you seem to be saying is that over time there is a build up in that block that will just not come out, short removing all the pistons, sleeves, etc. Am I right? My Super A has been going for 50 years now, and is indeed one of the later models that came presurized. My tractor is all original and as far as I can see is working as it always did. With these and with out a temp guage you are not absolutely sure what temp it is operating at. My tractor will gurgle for 30 seconds or so after shutt down, but it has always done that. Are you suggesting as these tractors age, installing a water pump wouldn,t be a bad idea? Just for nothing more than being on the safe side. I also get the feeling that here in the north where using anti-freeze has always been a must, these systems have stood the test of time much better. Speaking of the test of time, I sincerely wonder if the IH engineers that designed these tractors ever believed they would still be working 50+ years later.

I was recently at CaseIH dealership with my 1963 - 140 water pump. Customer next to me looked at my pump and said," its original, we have a tractor at home less than ten years old not much more hp than 140 and it is on the third water pump." I guess inflation didn't maintain quality.
