I have a D-14 tractor that i have used for mowing. It tends to run hot, or i think it runs hot. I have also been told that you can run a tractor engine with anti-freeze in it at a tempature of 260 degrees. Is this correct and if not , what is the maximun temp at which this tractor should be operated. Any thoughts would be welcome.

ron the d14 has a small cooling system. when the engine is working the least little bit it will run hot{220 or more}. remove the theromsat in the summer time, also a five blade fan will help some. also you can put a bigger core radiator on it{if you want to spend that munch money}. also try narrowing the water pump pully some this will allow the fan to turn a little faster. my dad has a d14 that does the same thing. they were noted for running hot when you started to work them. hope this helps you. what state do live in?

Jim, I live in Souther Illinois in a town called Sparta. I grew up on a farm At Walsh Illinois. We hade nothing but AC tractors on the farm. We had a wd which my father bought new. Our family still owns this tractor. We have a B which we bought used and also had a series 1 D-17 trtactor. I am trying to find that tractor but am having no luck. I appreciate your comments and agree with them. I have found and installed a 5 blade fan and it has helped a lot. We have also clead the radiator and it has been running at 200 degrees. Thanks Ron

Engines can run well in a range between 170-210. Most early eng. were designed for an average of 180-190. Later models were designed "hotter", about 190-200. This enhanced fuel burn. Under no circumstances should an engine be operated over 215-220. These higher temps start to distort seals- gaskets- orings. The higher demands of a combustion chamber- head gaskets- valves- pistons- etc produce localized temps in excess of these values. The cooling system works to keep an overall temp at a constant- thus the use of thermostats. If your system is operating above these values, then start a systematic evaluation of the components. Overheat will kill an engine faster than a loaded gun..... .
