Greywolf has got good ideas if you really have a problem. Marlowe also has a very good point. If you fill radiator brim full, then naturally it is going to overflow as much as the water expands as the engine warms up. Once the engine has reached its hottest point, then it should quit coming out the overflow. When tractor cools back down, the water level will likely be 1/2 inch or so lower than brim full. If this is what is happening, you can add coolant and it will do the same thing again. Modern day cooling systems have a reservior that accumulates the overflow, and the system will recover the fluid when cooling system cools back down by way of vacume. The H didn't have this, so it just went on the ground and wasn't recovered. The way to do it is just to fill it and let it leak some the first time you drive it and then keep it at that level. Just didn't want youto do some fixing and a bunch of spending if this is what is happening.
