Take out the old thermostat, replace the water hose, put in water and check for free flow. If you have free flow, the thermostat is to blame. This also tells you that the water pump and radiator is working. If you do not have a good flow or no flow check the water pump and then the radiator. If your tractor is old and the radiator has never been cleaned, it would be a good idea to do so. Could save a warped head and an empty pocket book. Never run your tractor without a thermostat. It's there for a reason, to maintain proper operating temperature in all types of temperatures. You will overheat in hot weather and engine will not heat up properly in the winter without one. When you have a overheating problem, always check the coolant first, thermostat, water pump and then radiator. Could save yourself a lot of money by checking the most obvious first. Good Luck. (Never,Never,Never take of the cap on a boiling radiator).
