I would really appreciate some advice here. I have a "73 IH 464 gasoline tractor. It had a water pump hub come of and ruin the radiator. I had the radiator recored and installed a new water pump. It"s been running hot. I"ve flushed the system with the aggressive Permatex flush. I found a lot of rust and sediment when I pulled the water jacket plug on the block. I blew compressed air through the block and out the water outlet. I"ve been running without a thermostat, and it seems better. I installed a 180 degree thermostat today, but it still runs hot. The fan has a homemade shroud that I modified to normal shroud specifications, and it seems to pull lots of air. I tried an electric fan, and the direct-driven fan works much better. I don"t see the normal symptoms of a blown head gasket or cracked block. No exhaust or pressure in the radiator that I can detect. Belt is tight and water flow is good. I"d really appreciate any help.
