I have a Deutz Allis(hinomoto)5215 that will overheat when mowing, but if just cruising around like we did at the tractor show in the high heat and humidity it did ok, or atleast never popped the red overheat light on. But when I run at PTO rpm mowing after a few min she will boil over and pop the overheat light on. Top and bottom of radiator are hot, hard to tell in the middle and I didnt bring my laser temp reader home this weekend. Do I go towards a new water pump or do I have a partial closed thermostat? Nothing funny out the exhaust and the oil looks fine, so I am not thinking its a head gasket issue. Radiator is clean looking to me unless its restricted internaly in the core. Tractor has 1638 hours on it. Mike
