Well I was out cutting hay for 8 hours and I was curious if anyone has an idea what is going on. The ambient air temps outside were 80 degrees F but I put a thermometer in the cab and it averaged 115 degrees F. Basically, I am getting roasted. It has underslung exhaust running under the cab, but in truth, most of the heat seems to come from the hydraulics. The rear remote valves and loader control valves get scalding hot to the touch along with all lines dealing with the loader and remotes (for some reason the steering lines stay cooler, but they have air blowing over them from the engine fan). Also the tractor seems to labor against a load that isn't there. It is supposed to be a 53 horse tractor, but it was getting sapped for power pulling a 9' haybine in first crop hay. Which brings me to the second problem, it was running 8/9 of the way up to hot on the coolant gauge, and the entire radiator is hot, so the inside doesn't seem plugged. The tractor required choke to run well after the engine got over 3/4 of the way to hot on the coolant gauge. This tractor has the external pump for the rear remotes and the loader. All filters are changed and fluid and bypasses in the filters are clean. Anyone have an idea?

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
