A few days ago my antifreeze has started to gush out of the over flow tube. When I idle the tractor it stops but once I open up about 1/2 throttle it starts gushing again.
When I open the cap the antifreeze has a foam on the top and looks like it's bubbling. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
Pressure test the system. Sounds like you may have a bad head gasket or cracked the head. If it is the sleeve seals you will wind up with water in your oil.

sounds like surley head gasket or cracked head start tractor when engine is cold and run for a minute or two and shut off and pop radiator cap if pressure in system head gasket or head bad for sure
 
Thanks for the replys. I really hope its just a head gasket and not a bad head. How hard of a job is it to replace the head gasket? I found a head gasket kit that provides all gaskets needed when removing the cylinder head. Is this somthing I can do with simply a wrench or am I gonna need a fancy tool somewhere in the process? Thanks! I got 1 more show this year and would really like to have the old girl there!
