Thank you for all of the advice a few days ago about my Farmall 706 diesel having compression loss through the radiator. I was going to go to Harbor Freight today and buy a cooling system compression tester to find the leak before I took the head off. I don't think there is any need for that now. Yesterday I drained about 1 gallon of antifreeze off of the bottom of the oil pan. Mid morning today I put it back into the radiator and a couple hours later it started to drip antifreeze out of the loose drain plug in the oil pan. So, it is most certainly getting through somewhere. I haven't yet drained the crankcase oil pan so it has to settle through that as well. I believe I can just pull the pan and find at least a rough location where the antifreeze is coming through. That might help find a possible damaged gasket or a crack. Just wanted to give and update and see if that produces any additional helpful comments.

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
