Try replacing the radiator cap and clean out the radiator air passages.

If you have access to a pressure tester I would try that.

Check your manual to see what lbs radiator cap it should have. It may require more backpressure on the cap. On my 135 it's 7 lbs.

I agree with Wacky, pressure test, it could find problems that you can't see from the outside of the motor.

Hi,

How do you like your 6180? Am looking to purchase a 96' model. Any pros and cons on the tractor? thanks

Going back to the OP (and 2+ years), was that problem by any chance a blown head gasket? Just curious.
