Today I used it to plow a foot of snow. Ran it for a couple hours pretty hard and no smell?

I actually forgot to mention this in my original post. I didn't think it was that important as I had the same smell before this incident.
Back in June I was pushing off some horse manure and clearing some undergrowth and small tree knocked the belt off the crank pulley. The same thing has happened to me in the past with my last tractor while brush hogging. No big deal as I always watch my gauges so I shut her down long before the temp gauge got anywhere near the red. When it happened to the TC55 that gauge rose pretty fast compared to the TC35. I did shut it down before the gauge got to the red but just as I was shutting it down coolant was starting to come out of the overflow.

As I said though I had the same smell long before this happened so I don't think I warped the head or anything but its possible the last owner may have had the same thing happen and wasn't as quick as I was.

In any event I will go over all of the hoses as was stated and check all bleeders again. Another thing I didn't check is the radiator core. Its possible there is a pin hole.

These things can be really annoying.
