G'day fellas, from Ken in Australia.
I own a Case IH 595 4x4 with 990 hours on it, and it's a great tractor.
I have a few minor maintenance issues which I want to sort, the most pressing is overheating.
The tractor runs in the red when slashing (medium to heavy slashing) after 1/2 an hour, and I am in the tropics in North Queensland, Australia, so outside temp is around 90f plus.
I have a very clean radiator, all hoses are fine, I change the glycol each 2 years (due now) as per the manual.
I have had a boil over from the cap once.
Question is should I replace the radiator cap with a new one, or ditch the thermostat entirely. We do not get cold weather here.
Thanks for any advice, and best wishes from Oz.
