Farmall H head gasket

Jamesmn · Mar 4, 2011

I went to change the oil in my H today and when I removed the drain plug antifreeze started gushing out. I am pretty sure it is the head gasket but I was wondering if there is any other causes of this. Thanks for the help

Hopefully it IS just the head gasket, but all too often it turns out to be a cracked head, or even worse, a cracked block. No way to know until you take it apart.

Could be a cracked head or cracked block. When you take the head off, have it magnafluxed if you can't visually see a crack. That'd be the first place I'd start.

Take the pan off first. Put coolant (or water if it is warm enough) in the radiator, and look to see where it is entering the bottom end. Analysis is best done when it is together. Jim

Gushing antifreeze is usually more than a head gasket. Good luck!

pull each spark plug and check for anti freeze. if present, you know what cylinder to look at. also, if the tractor is still together, run a compression test and look for real low cylinders. if they seem ok, then drop the oil pan.
