My tractor runs hot up to 250 degrees during the summertime (90 degrees) when I am brush hogging using a heavy 5 foot rotary cutter. I have
put a new radiator, water pump, thermostat (160 installed properly), adjusted the fan belt to the 1/2" slack spec. I am preparing to flush it
out and paid attention to how much coolant was required. Was very surprised to find the spec to be 15 quarts!! I have owned this tractor for
10 years and it never took more than 8 quarts. Never thought anything about it because that is all my trucks and cars took. Well, my mistake
for sure. Now what is the best way to flush out 7 quarts of sediment?
Thanks in advance to any and all replies and I now have enough experience with my tractor to help others out.
