I did find out it is a 961 which probably doesn't make a difference. I started it up with the cap off. water doesn't rise until after 3/4 minutes when it starts warming up. I do not see any flow at all. I will try to flush out the radiator. I thought with the thermostat out it should show a flow immediately, 35 years ago I was in an auto mechanics garage. the mechanic all of a sudden said some bad words. I asked him what was wrong. he said this d--- thing had a blown head gasket. since he just had the engine running I asked him how he knew. he told me if a head gasket goes bad and you start your motor the compression will get into your water jackets therefore your hose on the radiator will get hard fairly quick. being curious I asked him to show me. the hose was very pliable. he started the car and in matter of seconds the hose was very hard. never forgot that. may not be fool proof but it made sense to me. as far as the thermostat I wanted to make sure it wasn't restricting the flow apparently had been removed by previous owner. so when I start the tractor with the radiator full I see know flow at all. unless I am missing something which is possible for sure I either have a restriction or water pump is bad. most water pumps I have had to replace were leaking. this one is not. ill work on the restriction problem first. thanks to all the comments. any more comments is always welcome.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
