I've been reading about overheating issues on diesel zero-turns. It sounds like these things get damaged really quickly when they overheat.
My ZD326 has a gauge as well as an alarm. The alarm runs through the ECM, which appears to be dead. I look at the gauge while I mow.
You have to wonder why Kubota didn't rig the ECM so it SHUTS DOWN the mower when it overheats instead of just sounding a horn. I suppose it's to give you time to get to a level area.
I have been using a small gas leaf blower to clean the mower after sessions. Is this a good strategy to protect the mower from overheating? I don't want to blow debris INTO the radiator.
