Stan: I had heard that the little -50's were a bit sensitive to overheating. My neighbor has a 950, and he has been very pleased with it. Anyway, here are a few things you could try: 1) Make sure the thermostat is not sticking at a near closed position. Also check condition of hoses. 2) Flush and re-fill the coiling system so you're getting maximum efficiency 3) You might consider adding some of the compounds that increase the "efficiency" of the coolant. I have seen a product called "Water-Wetter" used to help a marginal cooling system by allowing the coolant to shed it's heat faster. 4) Make sure the radiator fins are straight and the core is free of grease and dirt. Many tractors that had overheating problems have been solved by a blast from the power washer ! Just be careful around those delicate radiator parts. 5) Make sure the fan belt is good and tight. That small waterpump has to be working well to push that coolant through that small radiator. Good Luck with it ! Frank-in-Tallahassee
