It would be interesting to know the manufacturer of the aftermarket power steering kit.

I think you're correct on kit brand. I would definitely consider that kit if I had a JD utility tractor with manual steering. I wonder if that kit would operate on a JD utility tractor with faulty power steering? It's unfortunate that this aftermarket power steering kit can't be used on tractors with FEL.

That last sentence is why I’ll likely sell this tractor to help fund something with a loader.

I think maybe a select few loaders such as a model 36 that attach to tractor frt support & rear axles might fit your tractor. There are a few aftermarket FEL's that mount similarly to utility tractors.

So the radiator didn’t do the trick.

It was still running quite warm.


I found the culprit and replaced it!


Now it’s hard to to get it hot on a cool evening.

I’ll mow tomorrow in the 90s so we shall see.

Mowed for 6 hours today.

Temp stayed right at 170-180 despite it being 90 degrees and running at full pto rpm for a good cut.

I am guessing aftermarket temp gauge.
On my 2030 the temp gauge has no numbers. Typical is one to two needle widths to the left of straight up. Red zone is to far right.

Yes I bought the aftermarket gauge at Advance Auto Parts awhile back.
