4000, 3 cyl diesel. Worked it hard yesterday on the brush hog. Thought the Temp. gauge worked, comes up to operating temp and stays there. Suddenly it is boiling! Temp. gauge still
shows normal. Between hard work and chaff in the radiator it got hot! I cleaned the radiator and refilled with water and SLOWED DOWN. Finished mowing with no more problems, but now am
worried I may have cooked the thermostat. With an inoperable Temp. gauge, it will be hard to tell.
Is there a way to replace the Temperature gauge in the "Proof Meter" with something aftermarket? Book indicates the sender is located in or near the thermostat housing and must be
electrical, can it be replaced with something mechanical, like on the 800 series?
I am going to take the Proof Meter out and make sure everything is connected. Old Tractor, Old electronics. I would like to replace it with something mechanical.
