I have been putzing around with an H I bought this past summer. I have another H and a B.
I am not a restorer, I use the tractors and fix them when they break. This new H is confusing me. The serial tag is somewhere around 360000 (can't remember exact off the top of my head) and from that exact # I have found it to be a 51 model. It is a gas, not dual fuel. Well, as some of you may remember this sucker has been heating up intermittantly on me. It has been blowing antifreeze out the top of the radiator.
The tractor has a water pump, but it does not have a pressurized radiator (the gas cap is the same size/fit as the radiator cap.). This type of system does not seem to jive with the tractor being a 51. Should have a pressurized system on it, right? What kind of problems am I going to have with a mixed up system? Or is it not uncommon to have this set up?
In my investigation into the cooling problem, I found that the belts were kinda loose. I marked the belts and the pullys and ran er, and the pullys are spinning faster than the belt. Problem is, the set screw that allows you to tighten the belts is busted off (I didn't do it!)
I am afraid to use an extractor in that location, due to prior bad experience with extractors. I really think the belt tension is the problem, because at road speed, she don't heat up a bit, nor spill out any antifreeze. But when I am idling around my property she spits that a/f out through the overflow tube in a constant stream. There is no bubbling in the radiator when it is running. I gotta get this old girl runnin good before it snows heavy...my other H is loaned to my brother in law for the winter to plow with, and the B, well it will move a bunch of snow but it takes a LOOONG time.
Any thoughts? Hope my questions are clear but if not let me know.

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
