Hey ya'll,
I said I would post if I had any problems with my YM2000. Well, here goes:
1......I found that the right side high beam head light don't work (there is a burnt spot in the bulb.)
2......As Stuart (RCO) told me, check all the nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc..........the exhaust AND manifold were loose.
3......The Main Question: IS IT RUNNING HOT????
I was using my Bush Hog 5' Squealer cutter today with the tractor......Made a few passes and the temp light came on......tractor is not equipped with gauges........killed tractor and very carefully cracked the radiator cap open, then immediately removed the cap.......very little water went into the over flow bottle, but the funny thing is the water DID NOT spew ot of the radiator. It is like it isn't running hot. I even touched the water inside the radiator......Of course I couldn't hold my hand on the engine or in the water, but it just didn't seem to be hot enough for the light to come on......Could it be the sending unit??? Stuart seems to think its the size of the mower, but I was just topping the grass. The tractor was in very low gear and the engine was wide open, but the rpms didn't drop and the motor never lugged and the light still came on.......WHAT COULD IT BE?
I HONESTLY DO NOT consider numbers 1 and 2 'problems', just a little 'maintenance'......But # 3 definitely needs to be looked at.
AS FAR AS RCO TRACTOR, I am 100% SATISFIED with them and their business as of now........I have NO COMPLAINTS with Stuart, John, or RCO.............
Stuart said he is sending me a new bulb in the mail.............I called him earlier today and left a message....I know it wasn't 1 minute 30 seconds later he called me back.......I can also honestly say that I was very impressed.........He said that it could be the sending unit, but was leaning more towards the mower being too big...........He said to go to Autozone and rent an infra red temp thermometer and shoot it at the radiatior when the light comes on and then call him back and let him know what the reading is........He doesn't know it yet cause I ain't returned his call, but Autozone don't have one to rent or sale to me................WHAT NEXT?
