Steam coming fom the radiator on WC

Calvin Gibson · Oct 26, 2010

I just bought a 1937 Allis Chalmers WC. I replaced the radiator for leaking reasons and there is a constant jet of steam coming from the hole in the cap. I checked the pump and put a thermostat in what could be wrong?

I think the problem is that you have a hole in the cap.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you from the message you left.

Just gotten a good start on Corn. When I get done we can get that water pump down for you.

BTW Check the parts book but I still don't think that your WC should have a thermostat. At least no WC I have ever seen used one.

Could also be that some vermin had gotten into that radiator.

I will visit when I get a chance.

Steam is coming from the radiator cap, cause that's where the water is!
