Scotty: My appologies if I seemed to disagree with your earlier post. I in fact thought you did one hell of a good job explaing the thermosyphon system and change over to water pump.
Truth is Dennis hasn't given us enough detail backing up his belief that the tractor should be changed. Couple that with the fact he hasn't bothered to come back and tell us which model and if that model is presurized or non presurized.
My point was purely to emphasize, many of these tractors have been changed to pump cooling when in fact it was completely unnecessary. Dennis pointed out his goal was to make his tractor run cooler. It could be that a water pump with thermostat will actually run hotter than a good working thermosyphon. I guess we should ask him why he thinks the thermosyphon is running too hot.
Every day here at YT, I read a lot more discussion than I actually take part in, and almost daily I see folks making completely unnecessary changes to their tractors. Some of these changes are much more expensive than good maintainence to the current system. The end result, quite often sickens the participant on old tractor hobby, yard use or for what ever reason he chose an old tractor for in the beginning. I hate to see these type situations develop, often times folks will give up on the old tractor, purely the result of dumping too much money into the project. And almost as often big money could have been avoided. I've got one in my e mail right now, the guy has spent a substancial amount of money on his tractor, and I know he is going to throw in the towell, mainly because he didn't go into enough detail in his consultation here at YT. We get so many folks here at YT, afraid to post a long post, I guess for fear it might get boring. Sometimes it just requires that many words to describe the situation. We just need to find a way to get all the details on a problem. I know details are often boring, but that doesn't make them unnecessary.

Today's Featured Article - Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts? Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market.
