Slappy: Water pumps became a reality on Super A in 1954 at serial number 356001, with the increase in cubic inches from 113 to 123. The C to SC receive this same upgrade in in 1951. Since the block never really changed externally, that same water pump can be added to any of these engines all the way back to 1939. Temperature control will be a bit more of a chalange as the SC and SA after serial 356001 had a higher radiator to accomidate a thermostat.

I fail to see where you think a front end loader is going to create substancial demand on your tractors cooling system. Front end loaders have never created any great load for tractor engines, all the way from a Super A to a 1466. There are only two ways to load a two wheel drive tractor engine to anyways near it's limit, and that is at the end of the PTO shaft or the hitch, be it drawbar, 3 point or fast hitch.

I would have a lot more concern about a Super A front end and castings standing up to a loader than anything else on the tractor. About the only engineering that ever went into putting front end loaders on these little tractors was customer demand. About all IH engineers would have said back then was make sure the loader wont lift more than 500 lbs.

I suppose you may encounter some cooling problems when you break the front off that block casting, but a water pump wont cure that problem.
