Just a heads up on temp light on rebuilt or refurbished Yanmars. A friend of mine purchased a refurbished 3110D with a front end loader from a rebuilder of shipped over Yanmars. After about 4 months of owning the tractor it was time to disk up his field and get it ready to plant his crops. He was pulling his disk and after about an hour he noticed the tractor was loosing power and started boiling over coolant fluid into the reservoir. He shut the tractor down and walked back to his house and waited for the engine to cool down. After about an hour he started the tractor and drove it to the shop to see why the temp light did not light up. He grounded the wire leading from the temp switch which should have made the light lite up. The light did not lite up, up on further investigation he found that the temp lite bulb had been removed. He took the radiator out and brought it to a radiato shop and had it boiled out. The owner of the shop told him there was mud in the bottom of the radiator and showed him the vat he used to boil the radiator out and it was full of brown mud. They both came to the conclusion that while working the tractor in the rice fields, if the tractor ran low on water they would dip up some water from the rice field and refill the radiator. The end result for my friend was he had to boil out his radiator and have the head milled because it had warped. So check your temp sending unit and make sure you have a good bulb in the socket that will function should your engine begin to over heat.
