i need help also , i have a international 684 that just started overheating fro mout of blue, the belt was alittle loose so i tightened it , the water level drops in radiator so i dunno if it leaks .im not a mechanic i nherited the tractor fro mmy dad who passed away in 95 .i took off the radiator today and when i unhooked the bottom hose blackish nasty water came out of radiator. also i took offf thermostat. how do yo ucheck thermosta and what do you look for while watchin it? i have no idea. im gonna take radiator to get it rotted out and check for leaks. i only use this tractor twice a year to bush hog weeds . i mean what else should i check? im lost. im not mechanically inclined at all. first i made sure radiator was clear of obstruction and used airhose to blow out the fins. you can use the tractor for about 30 minutes then water and starts coming out of cap , then some steam. i dont want to blow it up . i know the water was rwally brown/black and stinky . i dont think it was oil in it. so should i replace thermo , then rott out rad then if still overheats then what next to check ?? im on very fixed income. any help please???
