Hello everyone...first time post here. Anyway, i have just bought a 1990 model massey ferguson 1035 4x4 31hp tractor. I use this tractor for my business. i have been having a problem with the tractor overheating lately. The tractor has a temp guage that reads in celceus for some reason. Here is what is going on...i will use the tractor under light load (bush hogging) for about 20-30 minutes and the engine seems to stay cool (about 80 degrees celceus) then after that the temp gauge starts to climb slowly to about 100 degrees celceus. i will shut the tractor down and it will blow coolant out the overflow. i have replaced the thermostat and cleaned the radiator. The radiator seems to be clean (i can see through it). The water pump seems to be working as far as i can tell....bearings arent making a noise.
After i shut the tractor down for about 10-20 minutes it will be good to go for about another 20-30 minutes then the same thing happens.....???
Any suggustions would be great! i dont want to go but an expensive water pump or radiator untill i am sure of the problem. Thanks!
