Hey bud :)
Did you check your thermostat? If the radiator is a very efficient one and cools quick then your thermostat is sticking open. I don't know when the last time you changed it but you need to look into that. Make sure you have the one with the correct temperature rating too. There's not much to a heater. Two small diameter hoses that plug into the inlet and outlet side of the water pump (not the radiator hoses), a heater core, an electric fan, and a box to house the works with doors and flappers and ducts. If the heater is blowing at least warm then coolant is getting to the core. If the core was plugged up then it would overheat. Best thing to do is to check the temp of each hose while running and see if one is significantly hotter than the other and the cooler one feels like it doesn't have much water in it. It should be pretty squishy if it's not getting flow through. I bet it's your thermostat. Be sure to use plently of coolant when you refil it. Coolant contains ethelyne glycol to prevent the water from freezing but it also contains a oil which is a rust inhibitor that protects your water passages and keeps your thermostat free and operational from corrosion.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
