W-30 parts help

Posted by WeirdDeere on November 06, 2004 at 15:39:40 from (67.129.204.154):

As you can guess from my name, I'm more of a green guy. But I need help with my grandpa's W-30 (#12355). Purchased it about a month ago, ran good, drove it around, but not too much.

After sitting for a while the water level got low, and when started blew water out the exhaust (Uh oh). Filled it back up and added antifreeze (probably the first time it's seen antifreeze!)

Ran it around, and had to pull start another tractor (green!). Then the W-30 began foaming out the radiator cap!

We're hoping it's a head gasket, but don't really know. Did these engines have any tendancy to crack the head or block, or sleeve problems?

Was there a factory service manual or parts book? Or is I+T the only option?

What's a good place for parts for the F-30/W-30 engine, including gaskets?

Thanks for any help?
