What kind of tractor?
Good question. If it's a New Holland, I have a suggestion.

I would also say thermostat. To be more precise, the thermostat is stuck in the open position.
My belief is the cooler an engine can run the better for the engine.
The thermostat (as in a car) keeps the engine hot enough for the heater core to work for human comfort.
Hmmm why does my tractor have a thermostat?
There are no shutters on the 2002 freightliner I'm running now, nor were there shutters on the 2009 Prostar I was running a year and a half ago, or the other 'half dozen' Internationals, nor the Volvos I drove over the past ten years.If that was the case, over the road semi's would not have shutters in front of the radiator.
Did some semi heavy work today w my new to me tractor and noticed again that it won't get out of the yellow in the engine temp gauge, had the tractor running at least an hour at around 1500rpm(540 pto is right around 2100rpm) I know the gauge works, cause when I start her up, she's well below. Any ideas?
