I've been baling hay with my 1973 ford 3000 gas tractor and noticed that temp gauge is running just in the red after 20 mins or so it doesn't get any higher than half way in the red. I've baled 2 fields about 1800 bales running like that. It has a electic sending unit I don't think tractor is runnig hot. If I stop and let it idle heat gauge goes down to about half way. I've cleaned raditor,i'm wondering if thermostat could be sticking?or water pump could be bad,tractor is running great and doesn't seem to be really running hot. The raditor is in great shape, is there something that I'm missing or should I put a mechical gauge on it?If so where do I put it on the motor? or what could I be missing? And what is the operating temp and could I put a 160 degree thermostat in it?Any thoughts or advice? Thanks Joe C
