I have the Perkins 4 cyl.



The first thing I would verify;
Air flow through radiator.
Fan Belt not slipping.
Thermostat.

They have a little history of head gasket. I personally think the early blowers needed a cylinder head re-torque before it was put to work.

The engine temp will effect the oil pressure pretty drastic on these engines.

Does anyone know where I can find the Final Charge Coolant? Walmart, Napa, or Advance Auto sells it. If I can't get it around here (Final Charge website doesn't have a "where to Buy" link), doesn anybody have another reccomendation of what coolant to use?

Truck stops. I bought mine for years from WalMart (50/50 pre-mix). But for reasons that totally escape me, they quit carrying it. I now get it from the area Pilot station (regretfully for about $3.00/gal more than Walmart used to charge).

Checked 2 local BIG truck stops today, they've never heard of Final Charge. Went to Triple T, which is a big White, International, and Volvo road tractor/truck sales and service center. They hadn't heard of it either....they said it must be a midwest or northern distributed product. They suggested Shell Rotella extended life antifreeze which is a comparible product to the Final Charge. One of the parts/service techs looked up Final Chrage online while I was there, explained to me exactly what it was/did, and showed me how the Shell does the same thing, just maybe not as well as Final Charge does in colder weather.

ELC will be fine if you completely drain and flush your system first - then refill with ELC. That way no SCA supplement be required. But just topping up with ELC won't work. You need the whole cooling system full of it first, then topping up with ELC is ok.

Did a complete flush and refill yesterday, changed the oil, oil filter, and changed the fuel filter....which DID not want to come off. Tractor runs great....I can actually tell it cranked up smoother. Oil pressure increased, so it obviously did need the oil change. Thanks for all you guys help.

When you get time I would also change the injector pump oil. Who knows what type of shape its in????

I would also plan on changing the hydro oil and the gear oil in both the tranny but also the front axle.
