Hi guys, I had a “check” light that was on with a fuel solenoid issue and the stop light brake switch not working.

I still get the light on when my tractor is used for some time and my engine gets hot.

My question is.. is there a safety switch that causes that “check” light to go on if the engine is running hot?

My gauge will climb slowly up to the 3/4 line (line before hot) that’s when the light comes on.

I’m going to order a thermostat and I’m going to get it to a location where I can flush the system out and maybe hose off the fins of the radiator..

Coolant..

any antifreeze will do?

What does Mahindra recommend for year round mix? 50:50?

You need to clear the radiator from the backside as the fins get packed full of debris. It may look clear, but can you see light through it? If you can't see light through it, the fan can't pull any air through it either.
