Hello all: I've been using my 5015 all summer digging with a small Kelley backhoe, no problem all Summer until yesterday when it overheated. Spraying water out of the radiator cap. Then the light went on...high temp.
Thinking it needs a flush. Radiator was blocked a little with weed fuzz but after washing that out it still overheated digging some more.
Anybody have a similar experience? Thank you for your recommendations.

I can't help thinking there's more than "a little weed fuzz" involved. How do you clean the radiator? I'm a big fan of compressed air blown straight into the core one row at a time. Sometimes a tricky wand is needed to get in from the side and work behind the battery, air filter, and whatever other obstructions are in the road. It usually takes me fifteen or twenty minutes to do much of a job.

Thank you, I just used water pressure. I will try the compressed air to see if air passes through. Thanks for the good idea.
