Just a follow up on getting this all completed. I removed all the hoses, thermostat, and thermostat housing and flushed everything directly with a garden hose all while having both petcocks open. So a bit more than required but figured it would be worth it. After reassembly and refilling it still did not seem to take the 7 quarts the specs indicated, so that is still a mystery. That was even after letting the tractor run and warm up so that the thermostat would open. Level never changed. I mowed small area to further warm the tractor up, let cool off and recheck but level still had not changed. The next time I do this I will measure the output volume to the last drop before refilling. It sure seems like it only took between 4 and 5 quarts, so in my opinion that's quite a difference. The thermostat must have opened though since the top hose was hot. It was replaced the last time I did all of this just in case and since it was inexpensive. I know I can test the thermostat outside of the tractor as well and may do that next time too "just for fun" ;-)

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
