I have a decent running MD (starts readily, switches over well, runs smooth with no smoke exept under load). After 3+ years with a new head gasket, it has developed the characteristic oil leak in the right front corner of block/head. Only see it when first starting up and goes away after about 10 minutes of running. The tractor never seems to really warm up, even after plowing with a 3/14 little genius for several hours. Gauge (new) only moves toward "run" zone but never actually gets there.I checked the thermostat with boiling water and it seemed to work fine. ARe there different temp thermostats available? My "theory" is that if the engine were running hotter, the head gasket leak might not develop, but I don't know if this is correct. It's nice to have a good working cooling system, but engines should be running at a good working temp. when under load (180-190 degrees). What does anybody think about this?

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
