I have a 25hp EUROLEOPARD tractor. I am having trouble with it overheating after running for a short time. I try to air clean the radiator regularly, water anti freeze levels ok?

Thank you. I did that and cleaned with compressed air. Only recently replaced!

I use foaming coil cleaner for A/C condenser coils periodically and let it foam up and push trash and seeds, chaff, etc out of the radiator fins and then rinse well with a water spray nozzle attached to a hose, you will be surprised at what all it will bring out of the cooling fins.

Its probably the thermostat as big bubba said I would flush the antifreeze as well, sometime it clogged up and could cause that.

Spray your radiator with some of that "purple power" type cleaner and let it soak in real good. Then flush it out with a garden hose sprayer & hot water for a good 15 minutes. I bet it's real dirty.

If it heats up too hot in a short/quick time?.....it's likely the thermostat. Replace with a new one and replace the antifreeze coolant with new also. Let us know how it works out.

Not the right mix for anti-freeze can cause over heating, radiator hoses can callapse, dirty radiator coils, bad thermostat

To check your stat put it in a pan with water heat stat should open approx 200 F
