This evening I started the tractor and let it run for several minutes. I got it up to operating temp on guage. I pulled off the radiator cap and I could not see any coolant movement. I reved up the engine and still no movement. Top radiator hose was warm and coolant at the cap was warm (not hot). Bottom radiator was not warm. This would indicate that the thermostat is not opening fully as JC mentioned above. Does that sound right?
