I've recently seen several online remarks and also ads selling water pumps for L185DT tractors. My old and faithful tractor doesn't have such a pump and if it did, it would have to be might skinny to fit in the usual place for water pumps. I would certainly appreciate being enlightened on this matter.
Thanks,
Thais

You won’t be able to install one at the normal fan location.

You may be able to install an inline electric pump but there is little space for these.

Generally you should just keep the system clean and it will perform as intended.

I decided against trying to install anything to assist with the thermosyphon system since it has always worked well when clean. I keep a cheap ac filter in front of the screen that helps catch dust and chaff out of the screen and radiator fins. Shake it out when starting to do a task, shake it out when I take a break and wash it out once or twice a year.

Are you having any issues or just curious?
