When and if I use a stop leak I use Bars leak copper and it has worked well for the things I have used it in

These tractors need all the cooling capacity they can get, let this little engine get hot and many times it will warp the head or blow a head gasket,

I would take the radiator to a repair shop and have it properly cleaned and repaired,

My friends little 135 Ferguson got too hot last year, they just let weeds and grass clog up the front of the radiator and it cost him approximately the value of the tractor to have it repair (motor rebuilt)

They must have proper oil pressure and coolant to operate
Just my two cents,
Spend your money on a proper radiator repair or replacement, rather than a rebuilt engine, this radiator stop leak might clog up other parts of the cooling system,

stop leaks are like bandaids.

remember.. if it stops a leak, it can also plug up cooling ports, and can be a sediment in the engine, meaning hot spots where no coolant runs. It also means if it can magically settle and stop a leak, that it can just as magically move and not seal the leak anymore.. thus giving you false security as you may be running one day then poof, overheat.

We have all drained radiators and cleaned engines that had inches of sludgy junk that you just know someone poured in 30-40$ of radiator leakstop over the years because they wouldn't solder up a pin hole.

where is the leak? some leaks are user serviceable.
