my nice mf 165, continental gas engine, has always run cool. a helper drained it a couple of times and put new antifreeze in it. when i checked the floating balls later, it was still so rusty looking i could barely see the balls. my plan is to drain by taking off the lower hose and also some of the additives for flushing.

my expectation is that there is no thermostat. does anyone know what temperature and other thermostat details are desirable? this tractor is really handy around the farm here, and i want to do good maintenance on it.

thanks for any help.

regards,
