Super A overheat
Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 10:18 am
Hey guys I have a 46 super A. Been in the family since 1951. First thing I can remember driving.
In the past when tobacco was king here in kentucky we used the A for cultavating and not much else. However I found a woods L59 belly mower for it and finally started to use it this last week.
After completing the install and reading all the product info from the Woods brochure I started to mow around and soon noticed water coming form the radiator and assumed since the radiator was in such bad condition that it needs replacing.
New radiator and my tractor still apears to over heat. I should mention that the radiator is the non pressurized type.
I guess my question is it normal for water to come out of the side tube of the radiator during normal use? I dont remember the tractor overheating when I was a kid but that was a long time ago. Other than installing a temperature gauage how can you tell when the tractor is overheating?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can offer advice!
