I don't know if i should admit this or not, but i help a neighbor with tillage, The STX275, got a Cummins 505 Cubic engine it, was heating So the boss called out his independent mechanic, he rode with me,that day it run 183* he said ,it must of been the thermostat,ok On the 275 series the big hood comes forward and and up, the the radiator was clean,so he was satisfied, so he went back to town! The owner also has a 325 STX also,he run's, that blew a sterring hose,i suggested he call the dealer this timme, so he did,when he was out i told the Mech about my tractor heating, first thing he said, did you blew out i said yes it's clean, so he walks over pulls the hood, unknown to me he pulls the side doors forward, wow,problem found,[all full of fuzz from cattail's]it's got equal to 3 ,full size radiator,1 is the AC evaporator,and 1/2 size oil cooler i don't think the owner even knew about that side door,anyway a cheap fix!
