I will second having the blocked bored out and a sleeve installed to seal the casting hole. This sleeve would just get that hole back to where you would put a standard sleeve inside of it. Your seeing a cavitation hole in the original block. That is why many of us on here are telling people with diesel engines to use coolant additives regularly in them. Also NEVER use well water in any engine. If you want to MIX your own then at least use distilled water with new antifreeze. I still recommend buying the premixed products, such as JD Cool guard.

This is not an uncommon issue with the three cylinder Ford tractors. I have done 3-4 in my life time and I am not in a heavy Ford area. In every single case the old coolant looked like rusty sludge when I cleaned the block out.
