Cosmo,
If your engine is running hot and you have coolant in the sump, then you most
likely have a blown head gasket. It is not uncommon with the TRactor engines to
have the head gasket blown between #2 and # 3, and have the leak pressurize the
cooling system and super heat the coolant, leading to spewage from the
overflow. HTH,
