Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. The leak only occurs when the engine is off and a very slow drip so I have some time. I have the parts in hand (o rings, side gasket, cover gasket) as of today so will work on it after haying is done.
I know this thread is fairly old... but thought I would try.
@Zebrafive - I am seeing the same leak on my 2030. Was this fix straightforward? Will I need to take the injection pump off?
thanks
I have an older tractor (1975; deere 2030) which has a radiator overflow tube that drains to the ground. Is there any problem with adding a simple overflow tank to capture the overflow when hot and return it as the radiator cools? There is space for a tank in front of the radiator.
