I was bush hogging today and noticed the temp gauge creeping up (2/3 off cold). This was unusual, it never runs over 1/3 off cold. I had cleaned the radiator screen from the last time I used it.
Anyway, I stopped to check the screen and it was clean. The transmission cooler was clean too. I just happen to notice the radiator (behind the trans cooler) was pretty nasty. I took an air hose and blew it out the best I could (it's a booger to get to). After that, it ran about 1/3 off of cold.
This may help someone down the road. Even though the trans cooler and screen is clean, doesn't mean the radiator is.
