Hi Nathan,

I think you creating problems for yourself that aren't really there.

These old tractors have a huge cooling capacity built in. Therefore, your running the tractor for 15 minutes and it just gets 'warm' is totally normal.

Heck, an engine isn't even considered "hot" til it is up around 250 degrees, so your gauge readings sound okay to me.

Likewise, you can't fill that radiator to the brim, it will just overflow right back out. Keep the level down about 1 1/2" above the core, which is way down from the cap.

I really don't think you have a problem at all.

Allan
