69 4020 ranch tractor, no gauges. Did some heavy brush cutting with 14 shredder and noticed water pump was leaking. Radiator was a little low so topped it off, didn’t seem hot so shut it down. Next day, used it for about 30 minutes to finish up some light stuff and shut it down, pulled the water pump. Got home and ordered one. During this time we had a freeze come in mid 20 s to 34 then back to mid 20 s for about 48hrs. I only had the water in the system and didn t drain the bottom of block through petcock.
Installed the new pump, added ELC red coolant and distilled water, checked the oil, (it may have already been mixing because I remember thinking the oil looked newer than I remembered) and fired it up. Let it run for 10m went and checked for leaks and noticed steam coming out of the bottom breather tube, opened oil filler and it was mixed so shut it down.
I confirmed water pump was installed correctly but don t know what my next steps are.
Any help, advice would be appreciated.
