[QUOTE="arkie1, post: 1343755, member: 25283"] If the tractor is overheating when it is "working" weather this be pulling a disc, running a baler or some other PTO driven equipment there is a simple test you can perform that will better tell you if it is your water pump. I'd hook the bush hog to it and let it run up to operating temperature with the PTO on. When it overheatsPTO off and watch your water temp. If it cools down pretty quickly then the impeller on the water pump is slipping. If it takes a few minutes, say over 5, then I'd say you have problems elsewhere. If it were a busted head or blown head gasket you would be loosing coolant. Assuming you are not loosing any this is where I'd start. There is no need to move the tractor while you do this. Simply let it sit in position. [/QUOTE]
