My d-17 project is up & running quiet & good oil pressure. The Temp won't come up I replaced the gauge same result. I thought if it was sticking closed engine would overheat, & if stuck open it would at least get the needle off the 130 mark, "aftermarket gauge". All hoses are getting warm, open radiator & its very warm to finger, but won't burn you. thanks keith so.va.

Put the tractor to work! It will take a long time to get temperature up if it's just putting around the yard. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
