OK here is the problem. When I am out driving my 47 farmall H and the motor starts to warm up antifreeze starts to come out of the overflow tube in the lower left hand corner of the radiator. What is the problem and how do I fix it.
Thanks for all of your help!!!!

Haas is right about the level. I figured this out when I got tired of topping off my 46's coolant every day and watchong it stain the lower bolster. Now when I check it I stick my finger down its throat; tip of finger should just touch juice.

If it's a 47, you have a pressure system. Try a new pressure cap. If this doesn't work, your system needs a good cleaning, or you might need a new radiator, since cleaning it can cause leaks.

You may be filling the radiator too full. Level should be about 2 inches below the fill opening. If you have a non pressure radiator, loosing some out the overflow is part of it, especially if you are working in hilly country. Just be sure to check the level daily.
