So while wasting my time baling some more hay as in all of 2 bales the Super 88 over heated and died. Pull the radiator cap off and could not see any coolant. Temp gauge doesn't work by the way. And of course it died at the far end of the field. So walked back to the house got antifreeze and walked back. It took me about 15-20 minutes to go both ways so it had cooled a bit. Fired it up and it took 2 gal of antifreeze to fill it up. I have a temp gauge waiting for me to pick it up at O'Reilly's
 
Don't forget to change the air in your tires.
Replace summer air with heavier winter air.
Better traction.
 
The question at this point is where did the water go. If its like the problem I had with my BN not having water then its in the oil and there is a problem somewhere.
 
So, specifically why did it ''die'' from overheating?

Did the engine lock up?

Did the ignition system overheat and quit sparking?

Did the fuel system ''vaporlock''?

Or?

Not sure why it died other then it was hot. By the time I was able to walk back to the shop get antifreeze AND WALK BACK IT STARTED BACK UP LIKE IT SHOULD AND i THEN FILLED THE COOLING SYSTEM BACK UP
 
No reminder needed,growing up it was a severe infraction with my dad if the oil,water and fuel levels were not checked every morning on whatever tractor or truck were going to use that day.And its stayed with me all my life.
 
OK! So from now on, when someone asks about why their tractor suddenly died, all should first respond with ,"probably because of no coolant!" :roll:
