I'm a complete novice when it comes to mechanic work. Have a problem, hoping you can help. I've been all over the internet and this forum trying to figure it out, hopefully it's simple.
My early 70's Ford 3000 completely overheats and will nearly shut down after 20 minutes or so of running. Radiator overflow will start flowing coolant full of bubbles.
I replaced the radiator cap, upper hose and thermostat. Baffles are clear of debris. Belt seems tight and fan is running fine. Have correct coolant levels and mix.
I took a video at the link below with the radiator cap off. I cut it down to save viewing time but the total run time for the tractor under no load was just over 5 minutes before the bubbles show up - the thermostat seems to be working as it shows starting to overheat at the time the radiator starts to overflow.
Can ya help me?
