As was already explained. The hot water rises in the block and out the upper radiator hose to the radiator. As the water cools it sinks to the bottom of the radiator and back into the bottom of the block. As long as the radiator is in good shape and the water ports in the block are clear it will cool the tractor without a water pump. It will keep it cool enough even on very hot days. If you put a water pump on it you would also want to put a thermostat in it. Otherwise the operating temperature will never get warm enough for it the engine to operate at the best temperature. These tractors have been operating for over 50 years without a water pump. Unless you plan on working it really, really hard or in temps greater than 100 degrees you shouldn't need a water pump.
