In Reply to: Thermostat question posted by Jon in Iowa on June 18, 2003 at 20:57:24:
Jon: Yesterday was ptobably quite a warm day in Iowa. I would bring the rad up to about 2.5 " from cap. Start the tractor with cap off and watch for bubbles. If you are getting presure from a head gasget leak that is causing it to expell the coolant you should see some bubbles. Also watch for traces of oil in the coolant and vice versa. Try this first, then go to thermostst. On the thermostat, take it out and put it in a pot on stove. Bring the water to a boil, and take pot and contents to good light. Best if you have a thermometer. As it cools down make note at what temp the thermostat closes. If bad enough you may not even need the thermometer, especially if thermostat is closed right from the boil. It should be opening and closing in the 180 to 200 degree range. Try these items let us know how you make out.
