Kubota B1750 overheating

[Bobcat_Dan]

I've got a friend who has a Kubota B1750 (the hyro version). The main thing she uses this tractor for is to pull a drag in a horse arena. After about 10-15 minutes the tractor starts to get hot. The way they've dealt with this is to run the tractor at low throttle and only use it for short periods of time. I've checked the coolant level and it's fine. Coolant was flushed and replaced about three years ago when this started occuring. I was wondering it anyone knew where the thermostat was on this tractor and had any similar experiences. She is the origional owner.

The gist of it is, Kubota radiators are not oversized and must be kept scrupulously clean.

Well, you were right. This tractor has a screen similar to window screening behind the radiator. It seems to catch the smallest pieces of dust. After it was washed, all seems to be okay.
