I think it might be low on fluid. thanks again. you guys are awesome. and more important, you guys are really smart!   [Reply]  [No Email]

I don't know why they put the temp sensor at the hottest point. I do know it never over heats and the bottom hose you can wrap your hand around and keep it there.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Mite drain and fill with vinegar to see if the vinegar will loosen up the residue. Next would be remove radiatoe and lower housing so you can use compressed air and wate to clean those holes.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I've seen on Farmall A tractors the sleeves were surrounded by debris buildup over 40+ years and it would run hot due to this that and not having a water pump.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Really it is a pretty simple system and not subject to problems usually.   [Reply]  [No Email]
