Something very similar happened to me; had a L2 which I had bought used. I had swapped a F in on it and the L was wonderful.......air conditioned, hydrostat, diesel instead of gasoline, much more capacity, etc. 'Bout the third year I had it, I was shelling corn and it started running hot; gauge would peg out. They could be held with 2 different engines, but this one had the small one (2900 series), and it consistently ran hot. The gauge would flicker, would quit, etc. Finally traced it down to a loose wire and it started working right. Liked about 2 days finishing up the corn and the oil pressure gauge started doing the same thing. Figured it was a bad wire, so thought I'd finish up the corn before fixing it. It ran about 3 hours before a rod came through the side of the engine. Dropped the header, borrowed the dealer's tow bar and pulled it.....backwards.....to the dealer's. Found a used engine (big engine, 3500 series) at a salvage yard and the dealer installed it for me. $3500 mistake on my part.........
