I totally agree, but there is no trace of coolant at all. When I overfilled the recovery bottle one time, the excess dripped all over the mower deck and I could smell coolant. I don't smell anything and there ios no trace of coolant on the deck. I'm still scratching my head over this one. Migh...

I've got a laser temp gauge. I'll try it and see what it is. Thanks again!

Thanks for thet, I'll check on Monday to see if they have one.

The only thing that comes out is some smoke from startup, diesel smoke, then clears up and nothing else. Thanks!

I agree, it is too much. I'm going to have it pressure/vacuum checked and see if I can find out what the issue is, I'm perplexed! Thanks

When I was in the military we used to use simple green to clean the helicopters. But found out that simple green was a corrosive on aluminum. That was some time ago, I don't know if Simple Green has changed the formula, but I am wary of it. I do use a cleaner to get that layer of fine dirt found...

The radiator screen and the radiator are cleaned each time i use it. The gaige runs about 3 dots in idle or just moving around. When an implement is engaged eith from the back or mid, it starts to heat up, slowly. About 1/2 hour later its in the high range and I shut it down. I have not have the...

Thanks, I went out and checked all the red clamps, all tight and no signs of coolant around them. The odd thing is that I don't smell coolant and there are no signs of it coming out the overflow hose. Thanks

Yep, I got one when they came out and replaced it. Thanks

Pull out screen and radioator cleaned before and after each use. All clean there. The guage runs at about 3 dots when just driving. When as load is put on it either the brush hog or the under deck mower, the gage starts going up. It stays at 4 dots for a long (about 15 minutes) time, then moves...

I hooked a little bottle to the overflow tube to see if coolant was coming out. none seen there and the funny thing is that I don't smell coolant. I'll find someone to do the pressure/vacuum checks, I don't have the equipment to do so, excellent suggestion, Thanks!

Thanks for the info. The reservoir is 3/4 full when I start, but when it gets hot it is empty. I'll get a new radiator cap. The recall on the reservoir cap has been done, so that should not be an issue with that one.

Thanks for the suggestion. did as you said, really nothing behind or under the battery, generally clean. Thanks!

The radiator and screen are both clean. I check tose on a regular basis. I changed the thermostat several months ago (with an OEM one), still did not stop the overheating. The guage usually runs about 3 dots. Anytime I engage a implement (doesn't make any difference what it is) the gauge goes up...

Hey Everyone, I have a 2015 BX25D. When I go to use it to mow etc., It is getting hot, with sometimes 2 dots above the normal 3 on the gage. This last time, I opened the radiator (I always check it before running) and it took about 1 1/2 quarts of coolant. There is no liquid in the oil and all...
