Will: Further to what Randy has said you can also have passages around one cylinder restricted causing parts or say for example one cylinder running a bit hotter than rest. I am not sure adding a water pump would correct this. One item that has been very important over the years is keep that cooling system full of a good water-antifreeze mixture. It prevents this rust build up. If you know that history, it should help more than anything. If you don't know the tractor history there is really no way short of pulling the sleeves to find out.

However, if as Rick says you are just getting that gurgle for a minute or less when tractor is shutt down, I wouldn't worry too much. My Super A has been doing that for 31 years that I'm sure of and probably has for 50 years. I had the head off n 1991 and installed a new head gasget as presure was building causing engine to belch coolant out. Once the new gasget was installed no more problems. When that head gasget problem was ongoing I did have tractor blow steam a few times, however it didn't seem to hurt it as I probably burn 250 gallons of gas every year, some of it on quite heavy work. Tractor is still working fine, in fact you would go a long way to find a better working SA. No matter how long it sits summer or winter, 3rd turn of starter and its going.
