[QUOTE="kap258, post: 4361, member: 651"] I have an old 743 that I just repalced the Kubota V1702 with a newly rebuilt one. For fear of overheating the rebuilt engine I replaced the temperature guage so I would know exactly what temperature I am operating at. It is getting to 250 degrees after about 15-20 minutes of running at full power. I have checked the thermostat and it is opening at 180 degrees as designed and I had the radiator cleaned and rotted out and I am still running hot. I was told by the company the engine came form that it should operate at 220-230 degrees. I have also checked the accuracy of the temp guage. When I filled the radiator it only took 2 gallons according to the manual it should hold 13 quarts of fluid and after running it up to 250 degrees and checking the radiator it is still full. Anyone have any ideas to keep it cool@ [/QUOTE]
