I have a JD 2020 that overheats after about 20-25 minutes. I'm running a 6' finish mower behind it and have a loader on it. The gauge is good--it's definitely overheating. I have replaced the radiator, water pump and the thermostat (which is installed right) and the belt is tight and just a couple days ago, just to be sure, I flushed the radiator and block and refilled it with 50/50 antifreeze mix. It's still overheating. I'm plumb out of ideas. I'd appreciate ANY input. I'm about ready to cut this thing up for scrap !
Edit-- I let it cool down and just took the side screens off and ran it. Still heats up, but it feels like the fan is blowing FORWARD. Even though the radiator is behind the gas tank, that seems BACKWARDS to me.
