JD 2755 running too close to hot

[JESSE1]

I'd suggest pulling the shields from around the radiator so you can get a water hose close enough to the radiator to give it a good flush. Also flush out the A/C condenser. I had to do this with my 6400 a few years ago. Noticed it running a little warmer than usual running my 535 baler about this time of year. Pulled the shields from around the radiator and gave it a good flush with water then blew it out with air. Engine ran much cooler. This reminds me, I need to do this again.

Mine came frim Sears, but they are available just about anywhere automotive repair tools are sold. I'd check the thermostat housing, both above and below where the t-stat sits if possible. Or the top radiator hose, or right at the temperature sender. You might also take a reading at the lower hose to check radiator efficiency.

Got a IR thermometer ordered from Amazon. Will check it this weekend. Tks for all the suggestions.

That infrared thermometer is handy for several things. But I have a '67 Bronco with 351w which some are known to run hot. The dash temp gauge read fine, but I purchased a radiator cap/ thermometer to make sure. Works great, not sure if they work for tractors or not.

I did not see it mentioned, but make sure the airfilter is clean too.

Red Raider, Did you get your problem with your 2755 figured out? I having same issue with mine. Thanks

Cab tractor ('87) pulling bushhog getting too close to hot in 105 degree Texas. Will pull under tree if heat gauge gets close to red and idle til it goes down. New coolant, oil & filters (air). Clean grill, condenser & radiator. Fan belt ok. New thermostat put in last summer. Running in 2nd gear. Have always serviced on schedule. Weekend guy. Bought new in '87, it seems to be running warmer than it used to and I'm concerned. Not leaking or losing coolant. Tks.

Have you tried blowing water/air back through the radiator cooling fins? Ken Sweet

Do the 2755's have a fan clutch? We have a 4440 w/out and had a 4450 with. The 4450 did have one, and it wasn't fully engaging when the engine got warm chopping silage. Dealer had a clutch lockup kit we installed so the fan would run at full speed all the time.

According to parts catalog a 2755 could or could not have a viscous drive fan.
