Ax Man, Are you still out there?
I just bought a PT 100 with a Loftness mulcher head and having the exact same problem you where having.
Did you get it fixed or find the problem?

Ax Man, did you ever get the overheating under control. I have the exact same issue. I don't push a head with mine just straight general purpose bucket work. Thanks

Problem fixed. Worn pulley and fan belt not tight enough. Soon as machine would get to operating temp for about 20 minutes would go to 220 or 215. One person cannot tighten belt properly. It takes 2 guys, one holding tension and another tightening. The perfect tool is a tire tool bar for changing tractor trailer tires. Go underneath alternator from opposite side and pry up till belt tightens like a banjo string. I've always been trying to tighten by myself. I think this is the problem why so may people have this problem. I cant get my machine to go over 190 to 195 no matter how hard I work it now. Given, I'm not pushing a head or any hydraulic attachments. Just bucket work. Hope this helps.

Wanted to add to the previous post I made about pulley and belts. The machine began overheating again after a while. Good thing is, it forced me into pulling the radiator out of machine. From the outside and inside engine compartment radiator looked fine. Once I pulled it out I found it was only getting 50% air flow across fines. It was super stopped up with dirt and a lot of fins needed straightening. I did this one by one with the sharp point of a chainsaw file. Took radiator to a radiator shop and had it thoroughly cleaned inside and out. The problem is you cant get this radiator clean enough because it's hard to get all the corners. I ran machine really hard for one solid hour and couldnt get it over 185 to 190. Machine runs perfect now. Radiator is easy to get out, so dont let it scare you. Only 6 bolts and hoses. Pull it out and clean it thoroughly if you are having these problems.
