Hello, I recently used my ford 7000 to do some bush hoggging and the coolant level droped severely for some strange reason. I didn"t check the radiator level for a good while but the last time I checked it was full. I guess that was a couple of months ago. The tractor had been having some issues with shutting down without warning and I think it is do to air getting in the fuel delivery system some where. I fooled around with it for a while an must have accidently fixed it because it isn"t shutting down anymore. I checked the radiator the other day and it was a little over a gallon low on anti/freeze. I checked the oil and there was no foam in it so I assumed that the coolant is not going in to the oil. The tractor seems to run okay just don"t really trust it anymore. I am always wondering if it is going to shut down and leave me in the middle of a big field with no way to get it going again, ha ha. /That has happened to me several times over the last two summers. When I got it restarted I ran the rpm"s up to around 1900 and I held it there for a few minutes to help it perge the air out of the fuel system hopfuly. It seemed to work because she ran good for the next 5 or 6 hours. I am wondering if running her hard like that would push the coolant out of the overflow on the radiator. I did not see any evidence of that however. If anyone has any idea about what could be going on with it I sure would appreciate a note and a discussion about it. The engine is a 256 cubic inch 4 cylinder turbo charged diesel. Waiting for your reply on this problem. Thank you very much for your concideration on this one. Signed, very puzzled?

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
