I noticed a large oil spot under the front of my tractor. I used it a little in the yard, hauling things from the garden; I then noticed the heat gauge was climbing. I ran it back up the hill and backed it into the garage. I then noticed some oil spots where oil had come out the left side panel vents. When I checked the oil, it showed full and the coolant was about an inch down in the plastic bottle.
I took it out of the garage to haul a bucket load of limbs I had cut into lengths, off a weeping willow tree. I shut it off while I loaded the limbs, when I drove it to where I dumped them. I noticed the heat gauge rising, so I put it back in the garage. I only drove the tractor a total of about 300 feet. It is a 2003 I bought new and has only 255 hours on it.
Only overheating I ever have is when I would cut grass and the radiator screens fill with pollen and I have to shut it off and clean them up and also the screen behind the radiator.
