What?? are you the guy with the blown head or what? Im with sound guy this post is all over the board now. I guess your the OP as you have 8n listed in the side?
But NO replacing a water pump will not fix bubbles in the Rad. Now if this is not what your asking forgive me, but this seems to be turning into a post on just about anything tractor related?
Edit: your the same guy i see! So my answer stands about the waterpump. The water pump is unrelated to a blown head.
There should not be BUBBLES of air (combusion gasses) inside your radiator, its a sealed system. Yes you can have turbulance and small air bubbles if you have a low radiator and for somereason sucked air into the water pump but you probably wont notice them unless your draining and refilling your Rad. The bubbles are from a blown head gasket and when the piston compresses it forces gasses around the bad gasket into the cooling jackets and out into the radiator where they bubble up.

the confusion is that he apparently has a case sc or similar with a water pump shaft seal going out.. leaking water and sucking air into the rad and he has merged the topics...

I was thinking that since he mentioned a water pump that there was a possibility of sucking air and causing bubbles that way. But i did miss where he said he had a leaking shaft on the water pump, which is why i said what i did.
Yea this is getting confusing. Best if we are to keep talking about this to start a new thread.

a 4psi cap is what you need. tractor supply carries one. any one that firts and is 4 psi is fine.

WOW, i thought my spelling was bad as well as puntuation!!!
Just pointing it out as folks point out mine!!
"hole" instead of whole
"no" instead of Know
This just makes comprehension a bit difficult as you read is all, with the incorrect words.
