Allis Temp Gage

I run a few Allis tractors , the only time they run too cold is in the winter. Temp around 20-30 or colder. I have to cover the rad screen, to get them warmed up. Most of the temp gauges on my are not too easy to read at 8'. So I go by the center, they are all set to read normal hot at the center( 185-200). I have found if it is 85 or hotter in the hay field they can get hot but takes about an hour of baling ( thats the baler wagon etc. hilly ground, a lot of work for 35HP). So I have to make sure the Rads are cleaned often. I looked at a picture of one on e-bay. I would say 50% of the time my run at around 130-150 , 15% below ( winter) 35% above. Baling and brush hogging is about the only time they get too warm.

Make sure the rads are near full. To Test temp gauge .
Cover rad when hotter out , WATCH CAREFULLY see if temp goes up should be about 15-20 min if about 90 outside too get hot , water also runs down the rads if too warm , and would cool it some to. If I see water coming out of the top I watch to make sure she is running at and ok temp.

Good Luck!!

I have the same problem here in NC. Even on 95 degree, 95 percent humidity NC Summer Days pulling a bushhog through heavy grass, my '50 B just barely hits green.

I have been told that the radiators on these tractors are about twice as large as they need to be, so they are tough to get up to operating temperature even with a thermostat.

I've been told not to worry about it - just enjoy the tractor.
