I have a 47 H with a bizzare temp issue. First, I don't know what normal op temp of an H is. I've always known gas engines to be 209, but this one runs at about 150 degrees. I can run it around all day and it's like , 150, 160. If I let it run on a down hill, and today was bad. I didn't notice it at first, but it was like 220. as soon as I move off the downhill posture it goes back to normal. This has been like this all summer. It may have been like that since I've owned it, but I never noticed it till now. It never overheated, and the radiator is new. Obviously, I checked the coolant level and it's normal.
If I let it run while pointed up hill on a hill, it's fine. Pointed down hill on a hill, and the temp goes up steadily. All I've done so far is just not let it run on a down hill too long. The temp may go past 220 if I let it that way, but I didn't want to find out.
I'm guessing perhaps a weak water pump? I've never seen a gas engine temp have issues with its uphill/downhill relation. Any ideas?

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
