you might want to consider to jack up the tractor some to make where the drain plug is the lowest point and let it drain overnight
I guess it is time to pull the tranny cover just to see what is going on, that just might be the best thing to do vs. guessing
well ran it with a mower for a hour stayed at 180 f . hopefully it will run warmer in the winter now. but I did not like how I had to place the coolant tank to get it high as possible if it does not do much reclaiming ( with the extra 20 degrees f.) might move it to a different tractor that it will fit better.
well I just pulled it apart and it has a 72c thermostat now it make sense it ran at 70 c the rad cap was marked 0.6 . I will put in a 180 f thermostat and a recovery bottle and see what happens.
I can not remember it has been a few years since I was in there , but I am glad to see that about the rubber ring I had forgot about that thread that could be the problem in its self. how many pound of spring do you think on the rad. cap?
ok the recovery bottle might be a challenge but I shall see if I can come up with something and I will just replace the thermostat with a 180 , what do you think about drilling a small hole in the thermostat and not using the bypass?
that is a a-plus on that filter adapter the only catch is you need to have a housing with a screw in nipple that holds the filter, I have a tractor that had a cast in nipple to hold the filter so I bought a new oil filter housing so I could use the adapter and more common filters . I can not remember the thread size but I use a ph-8a style filter very common
I would say that if your three point hydros work when oil is cold and doesn’t when it gets to a normal working temp. that you have a pressure problem in the three point lift system or something is bypassing. I am not familiar with that lift but the old fords there are adjustments that can be made to the pump and associated springs .
