There are many reasons why this could be happening - mine used to do it until I took the head off, rebuilt the head (as it was off anyway) and renewed the cylinder head gasket (which was the cause of the problem).

What was happening was that when cold the cylinder head seated and sealed well - but when the engine warmed up nothing seated or sealed - so I lost compression and power.

Can you give any more details? Like does it boil/use coolant/lose coolant mysteriously/have milky coloured engine oil/not start at all when hot/start easily when cold but not when hot?

I have a T30 and have had her for about 3 years right after I purchased it I started to mow with her with a brush mower
it was Ok for about 20 minutes and then she started to heat up and loose power
took her back to the barn and went and replaced the thermostat took her back out still ran hot
went back to barn and got to looking at the inner cores of the radiator they were all plugged up
you had to really look close
took a garden hose and started to rinse out did it on both sides you should have seen the crap that came out took me about 30 min to get it all clean
that fixed it for good runs like a top.
check that before you start tearing down the engine.

I was brush hogging with my to 20 it started to get real hot. it had never done this before so i was a little confused. added more coolant. but this didn,t help. The gas started to boil in tank. I never found a thermostat on this to20.
Took power washer to back of radiator shot the water to the radiator coils.
53 years of dirt and grass/weed seed came washing out. Doesn,t boil over anymore.
