What should the water temperature be for the John Deere M or MT. We have been told that it will run hotter than others because the M and MTs don't have a water pump. But what is hotter? Our MT runs about 210 C is that to hot?

Don't you mean 210 F!
Mine runs hot also but it does not boil over. I think it is where the sensor is. I have several Farmalls that also don't have water pumps. Farmall was smart enough to not put guages on them.
I have a JD A that has a pump but it also shows hot most of the time.

If 210<sup>o</sup> is too hot, then we're both in trouble.
The temperature on "Sam" our 51MT runs somewhere between 200<sup>o</sup> and 210<sup>o</sup>.
Same is true for "Rusty" our other 51MT.
While both tractors were "torn down", I did remove the temperature guage and test it in boiling water.

Gauges on both tractors worked fine.
I wouldn't worry until you see smoke or fire!
Just kidding; temperature on your MT is OK.

What serial number? The early units had the temp sensor in a position hotter than what the engine actually is.

When my M is running @ 210, the lower radiator hose is barely warm. I don't work it, its just a toy.

My 1948 M runs about 145 F. The sender unit is at the top of the cooling system and can give a false reading. The water level must be nearly to the top of the radiador or there will be no circulation.
