You have mentioned that you have flushed with a garden hose. A garden hose is 5/8 to 3/4" a radiator hose is 2" The reason you are getting water to flow through is you are putting a lot less water through with a lot less pressure. I had a truck one time that did the same thing, radiator was 3/4 plugged so I was getting flow, but not enough to keep it cool. On these small Farmall tractors, the radiator needs to be kept with optimum flow, you have no water pump, it is a thermo-syphon cooling, so all you have is the heat rises, cool drops theory to make this cool. You may have 1-2 columns clean, so that is why you get water through it, but not enough to cool it.
