Hey Guys,
I bought an old style (1964 or so) Ford 4000 diesel tractor last fall. It runs fine (after some initial fuel problems were fixed) and I've used it a fair bit last fall and this winter. The temperature gauge registers right in the middle of the gauge. However, this tractor does not have a fan shroud on it. Furthermore, the fan only has two blades on it. The New Holland parts site shows that a two-blade fan is a valid part number, so maybe that's okay.
My concern is that, come summer and 90 plus degree days, I fear that the tractor might overheat. What do you think? My local New Holland dealer sells the shroud for about $125.00. Do you think it would be a worthwhile project for me to buy a shroud and install it now before the hot weather gets here?
Thanks for any advice.
