Well, the hits just keep coming.
Last week my engine heat guage redlined. Realizing the engine was pretty cool to the touch, I looked under the hood. The tab to my oil temp sensor had broken off and grounded.
Well, taped it up, and moved forward. Pulled all my grounds cleaned them. Called Terry, he has a thermostat set aside. Now I go out and all week it is rainy and cool, so I grade the road, move some dirt. Engine gets warm. No fuse pops.
Well, today, when I think I have fixed it all, the fuse pops, and keeps popping every 5 minutes. Symptoms are that the engine needs to be warmed up. Also it appears being hot outside helps the situation as the engine was warm when plowing the mile long road but it didn't pop.
Will call Terry tomorrow again. He said something about a fuel sending device causing similar situation.
Frustrated. My grass is over my friggin head but I don't want to get caught in a ravine with a non op tractor.
