Tractor overheating

[Leonard malone]

Just looking for some advice on where to start to find the problem. Thanks

I would start with the most obvious things such as a clogged air filter or radiator screen/fins, fluid levels as well as condition of oil/coolant, fan belt, collapsed radiator hoses. And then move on to more complicated tests.

maybe more info on the working condition that led to overheating.
do you keep routene scheduled maintenance such as items mentioned above?

Does it overheat all the time or just when performing certain tasks? You could be asking the tractor to do more than it was designed to do. You may not be operating it in its optimum power RPM. Perhaps you're trying to do the work in too high a gear. Many things can cause a tractor to overheat which are not cooling system related.

Start by taking off the radiator cap once it has cooled off and make sure there is coolant in the radiator Then check the screen in front of the radiator. Clean if necessary.
