LOOKING TO ADD A TEMP GAUGE TO A 2210BD--- any suggestions on a prior thread or

Winston I bought this from HOYE. It did not come with any gasket. However I am not going to use the stock sending unit. I am using this. Yanmar Tractor Parts METRIC TEMPERATURE GAUGE ADAPTER

Doesn't your tractor already have a temp gauge?

yes has the gauge pictured and the idiot light. Neither of which work. I figured just the sensor they sell was abbout the same as the gauges and adapter so since I was going to do an oil and volts I may as well do all three. Get better technology with this new gauge I am guessing.

The only light you have concerning coolant is the one showing coolant level in the over flow container.

How do you know your temperature gauge is faulty? Likely just need this. Yanmar Tractor Parts TEMPERATURE SENDING UNIT - (FOR GAUGE STYLE)

The parts manuals for both the 2210 and my 2002d also show a gasket to go under the sensor. part #124465-44950

My thinking precisely

Ok, so I went with the STOCK sending unit. I let it idle for a while and it does seem to work as the gauge rose slightly. I guess I was trying to make it more complicated by adding an aftermarket temp gauge. That said, now I have a three pod gauge pod so I need a two gauge pod to complete the oil pressure and volts gauges.

I do have a temp question. where should the temp run when NORMAL on the stock gauge/ Towards the middle when running for a while or where? curious.

Do you need volts in that pod? It's rare for the volts to go bad.

If you suspect a low voltage problem then listen to the starter cranking speed, and observe if the headlights go dim while cranking. These should be sufficient diagnostic tools to determine if you need to go to the next step. Next step is break out the multimeter to determine that voltage rises after the engine starts. But a problem in this area is so rare that I don't think its worth making the tractor's wiring more complicated to monitor volts continually.

You have the same gauge as my 2002d. Mines runs right at the 1/4 mark in cold weather (stays right where the thermostat opens), a little below and above the middle mark in hot weather, depending on ambient temperature and horsepower being required.

My YM2000B w stock gauge runs around the 1/4 mark in any weather, (no tstat), until the radiator fins get plugged with mowing chaff, my signal to stop and brush it off. I est. that to be about 155-160*.
