I've had the radiator for my Farmall Super A (serial #342732) recored and I put it back on last Thursday. Since then I've had the tractor running a couple of times and I don't think the rad is cooling the engine as well as the old one did. It looks like the tubes in the new core are about 1/4 of the cross sectional area of the old ones but there are about twice as many of them. The two times I've had it running it hasn't been for very long (probably less than or about half an hour in both cases) and although the bottom of the rad has remained cool to the touch the top has actually become hot enough to burn me when I touch it. I had the old one get to the point where it was uncomfortably hot but never quite enough to burn. This is with just driving around (in first or second gear) with the throttle between 1/4 and 1/2 open. With snow plowing coming up and no temp. gauge on the tractor how can I tell if it's overheating? Also if it does overheat is it possible to add a temp. gauge and water pump (as well as a thermostat)? Are there any other solutions? Thanks, SAm in NS
