My 1256 is slobbering some coolant down the side of the block when worked hard. I had it at an independent shop having some other work done and I asked them about it. They said it really isn't that uncommon to see this with that motor and that it wasn't anything urgent but it should eventually be fixed. They don't have time to work on it now so I will probably wait until summer. These guys mainly specialize in IH and are pretty familiar with the DT407. However I have read many times on here where you stated that the DT407 is not an engine to be toyed with by a novice. I think these guys are up to the task but I wanted to pick your brain a little too. Is this fairly common? What other things should I be looking for when they fix it? They said they will send the head out and have it surfaced. Is this a good idea? Is there anything else I should do to the tractor while they have the head off? It runs great and doesn't use any oil. I just want to make sure it gets done right. I repect your opinions a lot. By the way they put the old girl on the dyno and she was running at 155 hp. Not too bad for a tractor that age.
