Have you had the cylinder head off this engine
or the radiator off the tractor as part of your restoration? Something has changed since it ran flawless in July and over heats now. How long have you owned this tractor? Do you have a long history with it to say for sure it never overheated under load before but now it does?
You worked it hard and long enough in July to know it did not have an overheat problem?
Your garden hose debug method is not going to tell you much. If you've had the cylinder head off you could have a problem there. Sometimes these types of problems are a process of elimination (and money spent). Get the radiator cleaned professionally. Back flush the block.
Remove the cylinder head. Flush the block with the cylinder head off. Check the head gasket. Get the head hot tanked clean. Check the head and deck surface for flatness. Install a new and correct head gasket. Hope you've fixed it.
