I have a 1947 M that i use a good bit. In easy work such as raking hay, it never gets hot. But hook it to a plow and run it hard and it will overheat. I pressure washed the radiator to make sure dirt and straw hadnt plugged it but this didnt help. I tried a radiator flush from NAPA and that didnt help either. I can see white stuff all over the top of the radiator core when i look in from the fill opening. Will a better flush solve this problem? If so what is a better flush product to use? Should i just bite the bullet and buy a new radiator? Thanks for the advice.

Make sure the bolt is in the fan that runs the water pump. We had a super M that would over heat when worked. After looking it over and over a number of times I found out that bolt in the fan that runs the water pump was missing. Went to the scrap yard , picked up a used one and never had any trouble after that.

I would take it to a radiator shop and have it rodded, with the understanding that the process might ruin the radiator if the corrosion is all that is holding it together. Happened to me once. Any tractor will overheat if it is overloaded. If you are running in 2nd, try 1st for a while (I know it is slow). If it still overheats, and your implements are not too big for the tractor, the whole system may need to be cleaned. Make sure your timing and carb are set right. But, since you have used it a lot, your radiator may well be the problem.
