I know this topic has been posted many many times, but I have not found a topic that has my symptoms. Here is what I have, and I am looking forward to hearing your ideas.
Here is what I have
Ford 2N with a homemade loader. 12 volt conversion with solid state ignition
New carburetor adjusted to factory specs (old carb showed the same issues and was very worn out), newer radiator and water pump, flushed the block (4 times), replaced the head gasket, running 30 weight oil in the summer. It has a vertical exhaust. Also it dose have a fair amount of blow by (puffing out the breather).
The issue
If I am using the tractor just as a loader, it is great. It stays cool. I can push dirt or use the back blade with out any issues. If I try and do serious work like pull a 2 bottom plow, disk, or run my brush hog. The tractor will get up to 200 degrees in about 30 minutes of operation.
I have tried adjusting the fuel mixture in both directions, it is happiest at the factory settings.
When operating I am between half and 3/4 throttle.
Since I have owned this tractor it has operated this way. I have ran out of ideas and I need a fresh set of eyes on this.
Please let me know your ides or other things to look at.
