The block was hot tanked, and has all new or reconditioned parts. Only the cam was left untouched. Head and crank done at a machine shop. 3.25" sleeves, 132 cu in. Radiator seemed ok, so I did nothing to it. I'm going to flush it and maybe take it to radiator shop to have it cleaned. It did not overheat before the overhaul. Although I had no gauge, it never lost antifreeze out the overflow. The only thing I did different from was to add a temperature gauge to the UPPER block outlet. It runs on the edge of the red, and once I lost antifreeze out the overflow. I used the outlet off a C123, and cut off the top to fit the shorter C113 radiator. Another difference in the outlet is it is a larger diameter than the C113 outlet. I have two hoses overlapping to make up the difference between the block outlet and radiator inlet. My question is: Does the larger outlet detrimentally influence the water movement in the thermosiphon system? I really have not put the tractor under load yet, just run it around my property with no load. Currently installing the reconditioned Woods mower that was on the tractor when I bought it. The new head gasket is correct for the engine, it is not the smaller holed one for the C123. Did I miss something other than the radiator, which I believe is in pretty good shape.
