Help! I was tilling a neighbors field and noticed my temp rising past its normal just left of center reading. It was very hot out that day so I figured I'll just watch it. It ran another 5 minutes before it approached overheating and I shut it down. I've owed the tractor 10 years and never had this problem. Checked T-Stat, cleaned radiator with air, inspected water pump (tight, fins ok)Set timing according to manual, adjusted carb.....Tractor still starts and runs fine for 15-20 minutes then creeps up toward red and I have to shut it down. I REALLY hope it's not a head gasket! More info, radiator is only a couple years old and is fine, also checked compression which is within a few pounds of spec. Tractor is not using coolant and oil is clean and coolant free. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
George
