You dont need a over-running device on a 6ft belley mower. First i would drain the coolant. Then using OLDS method of filling with vinegar. Letting the vinegar set for a couple of days. Your problem is probably in the block as the passages for the coolant are the size of a nickle and i will bet they are plugged or pretty much plugged. After draining the vinegar i would remove the radiator and lower housing. Using compressed air clean out the passage followed with flushing with water. Using stiff wire and a good flashlite you will be able to find the small holes and clean them you will find a good amount of crud in there. When you think you have the area cleared run water in the top filler neck into the head and then watch thru the lower openoing in the block you should see water coming thru the holes. I just tore down four blocks and everyone had those holes almost or were plugged with crud up to an inch or more deep. Everytime i replace new sleeves i find the same. This is also a good time to replace the fan and generator belt and check the fan shaft for oil inless it has been replaced with the newones with bearings. You can add a water pump at this time also then you will really be in good shape just be sure your pump comes with a pulley. I have been working with these tractors with mowers and without for the last 15yrs done a bunch of them the 6ft on a C makes a fine mowing outfit and it sounds like yours runs off the pto newer ones drive off the belt pulley and and are a better set-up. good luck.
