WOW I would say so.
I set my Murphy Switchgage high temperature set point to 210 degrees. I'm also running a 180 degree thermostat. Even if you are using the original stock "ice cold" 140 degree thermostat, I'd still use 210 degrees.Hi a water temp gauge question The Bourdon Tube type gauge doesn't work on my YCT306S-S
I am planning on replacing it with an electric one which I can set a warning light to come on at a set temperature what set point should I use? also planning on hooking up a low oil pressure light what pressure should it come on at?
The motor in it is the three cylinder TY395 same as the Jimna 345 Tractor I think

Low lube oil pressure set point is 10 psig.
Thanks Bob What the advantage of running a 180 degree thermostat? is it something you would recommend for everyone or is just for cold climates. Where I am in New Zealand is pretty temperate we do get down to about -3 celsius (I think thats about 26 in american speak) in mid winter and around 32 celsius in summer (90 odd Fahrenheit)
