Just a follow-up on an earlier post about my L3000 heating up to redzone on the gauge while mowing.
The tractor had 33 hours when I bought and the dealer also provided a 50 hour service before I picked it up. Unfortunately he did not clean the screen or radiator, bit of which were clogged enough to overheat at higher rpm (mowing), but not while using loader or box blade. He cleaned both out and also ran the tractor on his dyno with no further problems.
I share blame here as I assumed all was OK before I started using the tractor, but to his credit the dealer was up-front about this oversight and made it right. Got the tractor back this weekend and mowed in hot as heck Texas afternoon - barely got above the "C" as in COLD on the gauge. LIfe is good again /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Lesson learned (again) for me - don't assume anything!
