I don't know why it failed. When I got a stick through my radiator it got hot, but I watched it creep to the hot side and shut her down.
I was working the he!! out of her though and ran her a few days box blading my pond in 100°+ temps. That in itself pretty much kept her and me in on the hot side. Those were the days I had a bucket of ice water and towel to throw over myself and took breaks when my hands wouldn't let go of the steering wheel. :cry: So yeah, I'm pretty sure this is all on me by mistreating her in the heat.
I'll get back to working on her Monday night, I got to head down and get stuff done at the new place that doesn't require the tractor. ...also meeting a fella about fabricating a steel building with me. I think I found someone that will let me do what I can and him do what I can't. Going to make a home for the 641!
Guys, I much appreciate your help!
By the way, I'm going to go ahead and order a headgasket. I'm thinking I probably need a new manifold gasket, water pump and thermostat gasket as well?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
