No, do not start with either the cap or the thermostat.(1) Start by thoroughly cleaning the radiator fins (brush off the big stuff from the front - blow the compacted stuff out from the inside thru the radiator with a air hose). (2) Check the condition and tension of the fan/water pump belt (and pulleys). (3) Check for proper coolant level in the radiator (should be down a couple/three inches from the top of the neck) (4) With the cap off, engine running and up to operating temperature, look in the radiator and see if you have a good flow of coolant (if you do not then you have one or both of two possibilities - (a) water pump not pumping or (B).restriction in the flow, probably from a stuck closed thermostat. (5) If no flow - Shut the tractor off and remove the thermostat. After replacing the thermostat housing and radiator hose (a) bring the coolant to proper level (b) start the tractor (with the cap OFF) and bring to operating temperature, observe for coolant flow. If it flows good - put a new thermostat in it and you should be good to go. (6) If still no flow with all the above done and verified, you have a bad water pump - replace.
