I think I did a bad, bad thing.
I was using my old 580B pretty hard the other day, and didn't notice that the temperature was getting high until it just sort of wound down and stopped. The temp gauge was pegged, and I was hearing a tone like a hum coming from the radiator which was boiling.
At the time, I figured that I had just run it out of fuel. A couple days later, I came back and added some fuel- but it wasn't empty. Crap.
I cranked it and it did start- albeit not as immediately as normal. I let it warm up a bit, but it has no power at all. It will lift the bucket, but stalls if you try to press down, or drive.
The machine is mired in very deep rotted hay, which is what I was trying to dig out.
Did I likely blow a head gasket? I plan to top off the coolant, run it and look for oil.

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.
