Until I started to mow the fields with the 5740, I had never seen the temp gauge go higher than four bars. Every time, four bars.
Now I'm out there in 90 degree heat, with the a/c blasting, and the fifth bar pops up? It drives me nuts not having a real gauge and knowing the actual temp.
Does anyone know what four bars equals in degrees, and five bars?
I think if I saw six I'd shut her down. Five has my attention, tells me the tractor is working hard.
but how hard???? 84 inch LP mower.
How many bars have to light up before some warning light/buzzer comes on? Does this engine have diagnostic
capabilities to shut itself down?
I'm not an idiot light person, maybe should put some nice Murphy gauges in. But also likely unnecessary if I keep checking the oil and water levels, and clean out the radiator screen religiously. Like the drier vent at home...
