Here's a photo of the fergie in my half-mown field.

I had to stop for a bit as the tractor overheated again. The waterpump is new, and I think the gauge is worthless, as it was just hitting the little "." in the "normal" when it started spitting. It does a pretty impressive job of emptying itself via the overflow, too.

(Unfortunately, this break meant my neighbor come over with a beer for each of us to reminise about growing up with a brand new TO-30 on their farm. This also led to stories about his leg being crushed by the tractor--he and his dad were riding the drawbar (!) and his brother popped the cutch, sending him onto the rear wheel, over it, and then under it--and his cousin dying on the same machine in a steep hill backwards flip, trying to pull a heavy implement.)

I've got a new guage coming, and once it's installed I'll see what it says. The radiator doesn't leak but it may also be silted up, I'll do a flow test soon.

I sure love my fergie. It's probably not had the easiest life but is still ready to go to work. I'll get her back into shape.

If that tractor flipped pulling a heavy implement then they had the drawbar set too high or they were pulling from the top link connection, as that is the only way you can get enough weight on the rear wheels to give it enough traction with a non-mounted implement.
Have you cleaned all the grass seeds etc. out of the radiator core with an air line or a hose pipe so you can see through it, if you cant see through it then it can't draw air through either.

Danny, not sure yet, I'll be doing some mechanical work on the machine this coming weekend, and I'll add that to my "check" list.
