What is a MF 1085 ? A tractor with a cab?
Sounds like after your flush job that your heater is air locked (not circulating coolant through the hoses and core). Since I don't know exactly what you have I can't tell you how to bleed the air out and get the coolant circulating again. I had same problem on a JD tractor, heater was mounted in the top of the cab way above engine level. I had to run engine, disconnect hose from the heater core and keep running until coolant got hot and expanded and pushed it's way up through heater hoses and core, then reconnect hose after coolant started coming out and I had circulation agian. The water pump on the engine did not have enough to push coolant up through the heater hose to the core and purge the air back out the other line to the engine.
