over heating IH 5626

My trator seems to get hot fast. is there anything I can do to help it along?

Kaye welcome to YT! Did you happen to type in the
wrong model. I don’t know all the models but even a
web search shows no results using that number. You
cannot edit posts here so if there is a correction you
will just have to place it in a reply. Thanks, hope we
can help you out.

Air flow or water flow.
After we make hay, the radiator gets the garden hose ! !
Thermostat or water pump.
I would drain, remove t stat, fill & test. Cheep & easy.

I never met a W P that easy to replace !

Sam I know you are talking tractors but you must have never came across a first generation 4 or 6bt Cummins as in a Dodge pickup. Drain coolant, pop off serpentine belt with a 1/2 inch breaker bar in the tensioner. Remove two 13mm hex head bolts. No gasket to scrape just a large oring. See link.
Simple Cummins pump

Get a set of these radiator genie I wash the radiator first then
blow it dry or you can just blow it out you’ll be surprised how
much dirt comes out
Radiator genie

So true.

I know it doesn't. It's a industrial model.

I do blow it out and have had the radator rodded out. Replaced the
water pump. thermostat,hoses and strait antifreeze.

I'm just at my whits end with it. Its a great little tractor and give a good days work if it's in the 70s.

Anything I can do to help her along? maybe more fins on the radator? I just don't know.

Just an fyi. Straight antifreeze will work worse. Actually straight water works best but you lose freezer protection

I don’t know if you were answering me when you say ...I know it doesn’t ... in regard to me saying the number
doesn’t show up on a web search. If so, I looked into it a little more and it seems very possible you just typed the
numbers wrong. It seems likely you actually have a 2656, see link. Not that it makes all the difference in the
world but it is nice to know particulars of a machine when diagnosing a problem. One thing that can be
overlooked is the fan belt or more specifically the wear of the belt pulleys. Not pointing fingers because I don’t
know if you are the first owner of this tractor or the 5th, if the belt was run loose or really worn down the pulley
grooves can get worn. The belt then bottoms in the groove and slips because it cannot wedge in the pulley in
the ..V.. to gain proper driving contact. If it is doing this it also will not squeal like normal when it is slipping. The
pulley on the fan is the one that is most important to have good belt contact. The only fix for this problem is
replacement of the pulley. The crank pulley is less critical because it is a larger diameter, but it can also give the
same problem. Also keep the belt tight, as in tight enough to turn the engine when you grab the fan and turn it. These folks that preach about the belt is to tight you will knock out the bearings that is just not true. The bearings were designed to take that amount of stress. We had a 656 on the farm and I can’t remember if the fan mounted on the water pump or if it had
its own mount bearings and drive pulley. Another thing is the hydraulic oil cooler in front of the radiator CLEAN and NO
hydraulic leaks up there? Also saying that straight water is better than properly mixed antifreeze is not 100
percent correct either. A proper mix of antifreeze and a good pressure cap go a long way towards making the
cooling system perform best. Hope this helps!
