Patrick: Your assumption of the cooling system being similar is right but there are enough differences, the pump must work properly with a tight belt. Two items wrong with your assumption, the water pump will slow coolant flow if not turning up to speed. Your pump is probably turning slow all the time, it only squeals when cold. Your Farmall 100 will also have the water pump type head gasket, smaller ports, thus coolant must be pumped through. Are you sure the thermostat is working properly? Thermosyphon systems have none of these to slow coolant, it works because there is free flow.
Your hydraulic problem is likely dirt, however I would check into lever adjustment before taking it apart. I'd have to check my Blue Ribbon service manual for advice on this, and it's packed away until about Sept 10th. How many hours have you operated the tractor since having the touch control apart? You may be just now getting rid of some air in the system. Hydraulic valve function is the only way to exspell air from the system, and in the case on this vintage Farmall with small reservoirs, oil addition may be necessary as air comes out. I couldn't begin to count the number of times, lifetime, I thought I had hydraulic problems after working on the system, and it turned out to be air. The cure was sit there and operate the hydraulics, taking care to make sure there is enough oil to replace the air.
If you need a good alternator mount I'll send you a photo, with a few instructions. If you have fast hitch and want 3 point conversion. I can sell that to you, or I sell you a detailed set of mail out drawings, photos and list of materials, from which any good fabricator will build you a 3 point that will lift 800lbs, and that is convertable from 1 point fast hitch to 3 point hitch in less than 5 minutes and without the use of wrenches. Or I can e mail you a couple of photos for nothing, you build a hitch, and then tell me it wont work as well as mine.
