[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 4384, member: 82"] I don't know what the actual temperature should be, but it should read mid scale on the gauge. I think i got 190 degree F thermostats from my kubota dealer. I'm not 100% sure, but i do remember they were over the 180 degree one i removed. Its not really a problem if it heats a little more, the problem is if it gets hot quickly causing thermal stress on the head, like from a burst hose. If that happens you have a problem! I can't see a few degrees higher will cause a problem. If you are worried, change your thermostat and get your radiator flushed and tested, also check your water pump. There is no reason for it to run hot. I have never had a problem with mine climbing over mid temperature, that was even without the panels on the blower housing attached and it was working hard. I have bitted the covers now though. [/QUOTE]
