Overheating?

[tractorpig]

Well here is whats happening at this point! Yes it has thermostat....when I flashed the system I disconnected the upper hose from the radiator and stuck the garden hose into the radiator and let the tractor run....fluid pumped through the system eventually becoming clear. I assume that indicates the thermostat is functioning correctly. I removed the radiator today after work to have it radded out. I'll have it back tomarrow morning around 0900 hrs. I purchased new fluid and we'll see where we stand after I get it put back together. Thanks for the tip on testing the thermostat!!!!

Things are worse today.The radiator was rodded out and replaced. They said it was in bad shape but in like new condition when I got it back. Well after installing it, I went to turn it over and it cranked a couple of times then a ground wire began to burn through. I never did get it to start. I spent the entire day tracking down the wire and it appears to connect to a three prong connection on the right side of the tractor to a unit just behind the fuel filter. Every time I try and start it, this wire heats up and begins to burn through......does this have something to do with the stater and what is this unit behind the fuel filter.
