Jim, I owe you an apology as I failed to mention the very beginning of this saga. When I first got the tractor the oil was spewing from a square plug with a small orifice hole drilled in it. I found that it was a identified as a relief check that was suppose to have a ball inside. Illustration number 23. When I removed the plug there was no ball. The plug however was machined with a dish to accommodate a check ball. I called various IHC to locate the ball but no luck. So I replaced the drilled plug with a solid one hoping it was a seldom used aspect of the PS and that the solid plug wouldn't cause a problem and I could determine if the PS was at minimum functional. Could this be the cause of the trouble? Do you recall the purpose of the check ball in the big picture of the PS functionality? Would you happen to know what size this check ball is? I do have an assortment of various metal ball bearings and a local machinist/gunsmith that has helped me with oddities such as this. It is quite late here and I spent the day under a Peterbilt so I will rest and resume with this hopefully tomorrow. I greatly appreciate your efforts and am hopeful I can get this tractor back to Mr. Breed with a useful PS system as he is quite fond of this old iron. Thanks Jim L.

Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
