Earlier in the fall I bought a Farmall H from a guy a hour or so away. He said he replaced the water jacket gasket on it because it leaked, but other than that was a great running tractor that he has had no problems with. Well, today I went to start it because it's starting to get cold here (29 degrees today) and I was going to let the tractors run and charge up for a bit since they hadn't run in a couple days, but it would hardly turn over. I didn't have a multimeter on me to check voltage at the battery (my house/garage and farm are two different places) but it didn't seem dead, it just seemed like it didn't want to turn over. I then noticed that the fan was not spinning. I walked around front and gave it a tug, and it seems stuck in place. It has a tiny bit of play, but it wont spin at all. It finally fired and ran for a second and the belt just spun around the pully and started smoking after a second so I shut it back down. The belt is tight and the fan just wont turn. I popped the radiator cap off and it looks like thick sludge in there. I couldn't reach it with my finger to feel it, but this can't be a good sign. I checked the radiator fluid upon buying it, while looking it over, and it looked to be green antifreeze, so I don't know what my issue is. It ran fine Friday when it was about the same temperature outside. It's cold in my barn and I have limited light and tools there and don't know what I should do. I hope the block doesn't freeze or crack if there is water in it. I can't start it to pull it out and drain it, and my family is all on vacation, so I have no help pulling it out with another tractor. I don't know what could be the cause of this. Any ideas?

Today's Featured Article - 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 ... [Read Article]
