I know all the gauges have the COLD, RUN, HOT face on the gauges, but I'm wondering what the actual operating temp is on the hundred series, as well as the M, and SM tractors.

I checked the new gauge on my H. It has a little arrow near the top end of the run range. That arrow was at 212F. If your gauge has the same mark, you can judge your operating temp from that.

Steve in AZ has the answer, Heated up engines run better and produce more power from the correct mix of fuel. Cold engines (with carbs) don't vaporize the fuel well, and the internal combuston exposed parts quench the combustion flame increasing HC emissions dramatically. (a cold charge of air if fuel injected with stochiometric amounts of fuel will however be more dense, and make more power), not mor efficiency)

Should be at least 180 degrees F. At temperatures lower than 180 degrees F you will get significant cylinder wash and condensation in the oil not burning off - resulting in increased wear. Also, fuel economy greatly suffers below 180 degrees.

I keep a 180 thermostat in my Farmalls, and 195 in my vehicles (improves fuel economy and emissions).

The operating temperature of the coolant is a function of the thermostat installed in the water pump. If there is no thermostat, then you'll be lucky if the temperature gauge comes off the peg on the cold side unless you're working it hard.
