Ford tractor leaking coolant (pics)

i think you'd be OK

4 of the frame bolts that go into the engine were loose. After tightening them down the leak slowed way down. It still leaks but very very little, a drop every few minutes. I think if I replace the o-rings again and with the bolts tight I should be ok? Thoughts?

Yet another reason to get a good shop manual and learn to service things yourself. I have the 1100 (still going since 1983) which is also a Shibaura and they are IMO built like tanks, but since New Holland took over Ford they simply don't seem to do quality service work anymore and likely think that after 30 years you should buy a new machine.
