JD425 Thermostat vs Water Pump ??

Probably thermostat. Need a temp gun. Check your fan blade belt to make sure your fan is turning.

On edit: Harbor Freight has IR guns for about $25.

Sounds like your thermostat is not opening....

I thought the same but you never know, that's why I post on this site, there are those much smarter with mechanical issues that I could ever be. Last year a member helped me trace the wiring on my 790 that was affecting the shut off valve, saved me lots of money and I ordered the replacement module on-line and changed it out myself...… still though, I'm just a rank amateur in this area......

Fan running OK, belt tight but I'll be checking on the "Temp Gun" aspect

Thanks for the Picture, $25 pretty cheap, good to have one around just in case although my wife might say something different

"TEMP GUN"...…..That's a new one for me, I'll check to see if I can rent one, Good Advice, now the trick to find one...…..

Harbor Freight puts out 20 & 25 percent off coupons all the time, makes the $25 temp gun $20

isn't the thermostat less than $25? It's a 25 year old tractor. Would be good to change it anyway. Has the CAM ever been changed in that tractor?
