I didn't reply to the first post because I didn't think I could help. I can tell you what I have seen with these, In 1980 dad bought a new 584 it has been a great tractor and doesn't get very hot on the operator. In 1981 he bought a new 484. This little tractor is a very good tractor, but will absolutely cook your brains. My uncle has a 574 that that would heat you up to, but he changed that underslung exhaust system to an upright and it cooled it off by 20 degrees for the operator. Keep in mind that none of these tractors run hot on the gauge. Anytime one of them is running hotter than normal it has been radiator problems. Dad had to recore the one on the 584 once, I forget what was wrong exactly, but it got to running hot and the recore fixed it. You may want to have that radiator checked out by a good repair shop. Hydraulic oil will get quite hot with lots of use. I am wondering why the need for all that extra plumbing and the other pump, these tractors have a good hydraulic system on them to start with. Hugh, in 1980 when dad bought the 584 it was parked right beside a 686 with wide front and canopy. I tried to get dad to buy it instead of the 584, he said he didn't need a tractor that big drinking up extra fuel. The 584 cost 10,900. Could have bought the 686 for 11,500. That was not a big difference considering the extra 15 HP of the 686. My 666 doesn't burn as much fuel as his 584 or mine. You are right about the design of these. Any Farmall tractor is 4 times as cool to operate, that is why I use so many of the old ones myself. I like riding above all that heat.
