I posted on this forum a few weeks back that my new temp gauge didn't work. Thanks to your replies I conclude the SM just wasn't warmed up. I was able to go out to the farm yesterday and work on the ole gal. Nice day, in the 70's. I covered the radiator with some cardboard and sure enough it got in the RUN range pretty quickly.
But now I have a new question. I haven't had it up to RUN temperatures since I degreased it. I noticed some dampness between the head and block on the spark plug side and at the front of the engine a very small amount of coolant had accumulated under the thermostat housing. I checked and there were no leaks from the thermostat area or hoses.
I dried it all off and kept the tractor at Run temp for 2-3 hours. It seemed that very little more coolant showed up. But, I also noticed that if I was running WOT and then throttle down and back up I would get a some gray/white smoke. I am pretty inexperienced at all of this so is this a head gasket or warped head problem? And if so, am I harming the engine operating it this way? This will not be a working tractor but I do hope to go to some plow days and pulls. Thanks for your help.
