Tearing down the M

well today i started the long tear down and rebuild process. i used this tractor over the summer to cut and bale hay. the first problem i had was it started getting hot on me, then one day the radiator popped a hole in its self. Then second gear started making racket. Soo i bought a parts M for $250. So to finish Hay season i stole the radiator off it. Then the last day of baling i found water in the oil. So i pulled the valve cover off and found antifreeze all over. Before i got the tractor someone had already JB welded the head and put a plate over it and Jb welded some more, and well thats where the crack is.

So today it started with the head removal and went from there.

Well it sounds like you found the reason for the radiator over pressure. If that water jacket was cracked it would over pressure the cooling system and then help blow that hole in the radiator. If you know a good welder he can repair that crack and then take it to a good machine shop for finishing. Wouldn't hurt if the machine shop and welder were together. Good luck, LarryT
 
well thank goodness i have the head off the parts tractor. its in alright shape, but i'm gonna take it and get a valve job done to it
