Yes, it does make a good morning or aftrnoon project to check out.

If you want, before you drain and measure, let the tractor get warmed up some. Keep a HAND on it as it does so, to gauge the temp at various spots along the side of the crankcase and above the bottom of the waterjacket. Initially the heat will flow more on the front end of the block, but as you warm it up under no load the heat will distribute more evenly.

If there are spots that reamin quite cool while everuything else seems to be warming up, those might be evidence of sediment impeding cooling. Two of the 113/123s I've opened up exhibited this, and it was at the rear end of both the block and the head. In the block where it was most easily seen as things were taken apart, the "mud" filled the back end top to bottom and sloped down (picture half a parabola) to wrap around the front end of #3. If you experience that, check the coolant volume and exercise your own judgment from there.
