Kubota 6800
My 2004 Kubota M6800 HDC heat guage shows hot and engine feels hot, but water feels cool in radiator. Radiator coil is clean, and plenty of coolant in radiator. Do you have any suggestions. I tried doing a search, but got no similar hits.
Thanks, Filo

Thanks fan belt seems to be OK. I have thought about a thermostat, but not sure it has one.

Stuck thermostat and yeah, it's got one.

Do you have a loss of power? A clogged injector will cause a heat issue from a dry cylinder.

Thanks I'll check it.

Get one from Kubota and just pay up for it. Don't forget the gasket and drain a gallon of coolant from the radiator before you start. It would also be a great time to flush and change the anti freeze plus check the hoses.
