Get that stuff out of there.
I had the misfortune of that stuff clogging up the lower radiator hose inlet from the lower radiator tank on my 1944 JD A.
That lower tank was so full of filings crud a large chunck that nearly covered the lower hole held back all the smaller stuff and it was caked in there like grime.
I drained the water out in october as I do not keep antifreeze in it.
I then needed to use it in november to pull out the neighbor so I filled it up and ran over, pulled him out, came back and pulled the plug on it.
I didnt stick around as it was kind of cold and watch it drain but it obvouisly did not drain.

When I pulled off the lower hose and inlet to the lower block area where it drain, I fished out enough filings and small rust scale to fill up a gallon paint can.
