That's kind of the nature of the beast with the old thermosyphon cooling systems. If you want to make sure it's not getting too hot your best bet is to use a non-contact infra-red thermometer. They can be had at most tool places and are quite cheap (certainly compared to what they used to be) and once you have one you'll wonder how you ever did without it. If you check the heat at the upper coolant outlet on the block anything up to ~212 degrees F will be fine. Chances are that when it really warms up you'll push a certain amount of coolant out as the thermosyphon systems cause the tractor to get warmer than a conventional system would. The only other problem you might have is if you didn't premix the coolant prior to installing it then drain it, mix it, and refill. There isn't enough flow to cause them to mix and the difference in their weights can cause it not to flow at all. Hope that helped, Sam
