I don't see anything wrong with the head? More eyes ple

I've finally gotten the head off the tractor, after getting hit in the face by a stuck pair of vice grips and having a tooth go thru my cheek... lots of effort, pain, and sweat. And... I see nothing wrong. So I'd like some extra eyes on this. I took clear photos but I don't think the scaled down ones on the forum will be sufficient - so I've got everything including some videos of the head uploaded to Google Photos and I'm going to share the link. Hopefully that will yield the clearest results.

Thanks in advanced for letting me use your knowledge and eyes.
 
Those heads very seldomly crack. O rings on tube between head and plugs in ends leak as do the tubes themselves when they rust through. Have a machine shop pressure test the heads when they do the valve job. Use new coolant tubes. I would strongly suggest pulling the cylinder blocks off and replacing the tube between them also while you are this far into it. When reassembling engine use pipe thread tape on the studs that screw into the cylinder blocks. These go into water passages. I have had them seep coolant in the past around the studs and get coolant in the oil this way.
 
When pouring water in the radiator, the water immediately leaked rapidly back out, between the two heads. I was told it was likely a blown head, head gasket, etc. [see previous post history?]
 
Water tubes and O rings need replaced. Change both as Chris mentioned or you will be pulling it apart again. Change frost plugs
also. Heads seldom give trouble or head gaskets.
