Just bought a 1940 A and was curious about the cooling system. I've taken off the radiator and flushed it and the motor, backflushed and cleaned the crud out of the bottom inlet from the block to the lower hose.

The radiator will belch and gurgle, aometimes with a minor amount of radiator fluid coming out of the overflow.

With the tractor running and the radiator cap off, I can't tell if the the water is circulating or not. Clogged radiator or something else?
