I got a 34 CC with a DC engine in it. usta be that when I plowed with it, as long as I plowed in 2nd and didnt open it up except for tough spots, it wouldnt overheat. Finally the Manifold gaskets were leaking, and proved to be gone other than the center section of each gasket, and the head gasket was leaking lots of oil. So, the other day, I change out both with new gaskets, I take her down to go plowing and she heats up almost immeadiatly. It had had a busted spot behind the manifold that I didnt know about, and when I cleaned it up I scraped off the JB weld. Well, I replaced it, but it still leaked a bit. Ill havbe to do a better job of it. BUT, What would cause it to overheat so quick? Tonight I tore it apart and flipped the head gasket, tho I didnt see why, as it seemed the same regardless. Didnt have time to set the gap and try it out. Any thoughts????? Thanks. I farm with her and need her bad right now.

I'm not that familiar with the radiator and water pump location on a CC, but can you look into the radiator through the fill opening with it running and tell if the water pump is pumping. My SC was getting hot and it was obvious from looking in the radiator fill port that the water pump wasn't moving much coolant.

I own a few cc and some other c series, there seems to be about 4 things that it could be, first check your timing,check to see that water pump isnt sucking alot off air at the shaft seal,also check the rad, If you are real carefull you can use a long small diameter blazing rod and rod out about 7 core openings in your rad, by going down threw the cap opening, If that doesnt help then there is possibly alot of rust or scale build up around the back two cylinders. By taking the water pump off and also bottom hose elbow you can try and flush some crude out with a garden hose. last resort is to pull the back two sleeves and dig out the junk. One of mine had about 2 icecream pails of junk in aroud the back two sleeves, Hard to beleive that much stuff could be in there but has ran cool ever since, Good luck Bill

Bill has good advice, but if I were you I'd take the radiator apart, chances are most of your flues are plugged. It will take a lot of work rodding it, but I'm willng to guess that is your problem.

When I did the radiator on my C, I just took off the bottom tank, and ran the rods up from the bottom. Took a shop vac and sucked all the crud that was pushed into the top tank. Seemed to work well.

Also used a shop vac on the block of a 10-20 McCormick Deering. Had the radiator off, sealed the top connection, and made a plate that bolted to the bottom connection with a hole that the vacuum hose fit into. The suction brought out about a 5 gallon bucket full.

I agree with Camboted and Brian. I have had the radiator off my C a couple of times. It is not a difficult job. My radiator is not in good shape, but I have cleaned out the tubes with a bronze rod.

The bottom tank has rotted out but I fixed that with 2 part epoxy and it has held up for over ten years like that. Someday I will find a usable bottom tank or else have one cast.
