Figured out that this was happening because of a faulty oil temperature sending switch. The sensor screws into the engine and has two wires on it. A temporary fix was to just connect the two wires together to bypass the sensor.

I have a 2007 Gehl 4640e Turbo with 500 hours on it. Yesterday it was 90 degrees here. As soon as I would start my machine the heat sensor light on the right panel would turn on, and the machine would start beeping. After running for about 30 seconds the machine would just shut off. The...

Thanks for the reply. The machine is a 2004 so I am assuming that pump and drive motors are the newer versions. Correct???

I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on high hours for a CASE 70XT skid steer with a Cummins diesel engine in it. The machine has 6500 hours on it, but is in awesome shape. I opened up the ROPS and looked at the engine and hydraulic components and everything appears to be very clean and leak...
