Still got a few problems, but getting along much better now. After changing the top radiator hose & clamps & refilling w/antifreeze, things seem better - not 100%, but much improved. The last few days I've run it, it would spit coolant briefly 3-4 times, and nothing more. Ran Sat & checked it today & it took 2 qts. to bring it back to full mark. Ran it today (much cooler here - highs in 70's)& it put a few drops on the hood twice, and spit out a small amount once. Not sure if maybe the radiator needs a professional cleaning, or maybe the fan clutch is going bad. Looked at where belt is in pulley like jbirnsch said. It's a bit below sides of pulley. Belt is tight, and I've heard fan roar. I think I'll be o.k. w/that until after harvest. 2 other things: right front tire is wearing on the outside - doesn't stand up straight when you look directly at it. Not sure how to adjust it. Also, the fuel gauge doesn't work. Since I got the instrument panel back last summer, all but the 2 segments on the left lit up & blinked. Then today, I noticed the middle segment and the one to the left of it was lit up (neither one blinking). Any clue what I need to check - for either problem?
