Overheating Information

[284 International]

... These are just one generation evolved beyond open-tub cooling reservoir like a 1920's stationary engine. (well maybe overstated a little. )

I think that's pretty accurate, especially the non-water pump convection style. I don't have a Yanmar cooled this way, but have a Kubota machine that doesn't use a water pump. It's a simple, yet ingenious design.

I don't have a Yanmar,

Didn't you used to 284? I would have sworn you had a 1401/1410 something once?

 

[284 International]

Sorry, I was unclear. I don't have a convection circulation Yanmar, but my B6000 has that style cooling system.

That makes sense I was sure you was one of us Yanmarians! I have a heck of a time typing what my head is thinking most of the time. :laughing:

My girlfriend IS awesome, and I'm really lucky. I've got her tractor at my place, but she drives it every so often (though not in her garden, as had originally been the plan...). I have pulled the duals off and replaced them with some cast iron wheel weights.

Just a reminder to everyone... don't forget to check your radiator screen. I was bush hogging my field and I noticed that the temperature kept creeping up. After ~ 3 hours, I stopped and took a look in the engine compartment. I noticed that my radiator screen was almost totally blocked. Yikes! I made a mental note to check it more often.

Yep depending on what im in i check every 30 mins or so. If its bad i continue to check as it is needed this often, if it is not as bad every few hours will work.
