R Head Problems

JandJ · Oct 5, 2011

Early this summer I noticed oil and gunk in the radiator on my R john deere. I got ahold of some special soap, emptied the radiator and filled with clean water and added this soap. Ran the tractor until good and warm and emptied and flushed, all seemed great... I didnt start the tractor again until yesterday it was hard to start and about a half cup or there abouts of liquid blew out of the exhaust, I thought that it was just condensation, but it was antifreeze..Whats my problem..... Thanks

Well, from the sounds of things, somewhere you
have a internal leak.. Need to find some way
you can pressure test the system, hand pump
gauge attaches to the rad filling where the
cap goes & pump it up, see if it holds 8 to
10 pounds pressure.. Chances are it won"t, you
either have a crack or a head gasket leaking.
