Dell, hello again and thanks for your info. My tractor is an 8N and when I bought it someone has had the head tapped and installed right on top between the two middle cylinders, ou can see on the head where the radiator hose connects there is like a hump that tapes into the head. in the middle right behind where your fuel shut off is usually located someone has installed a really cool setup that has the temp sender installed in it. My question was would'nt the temps be hotter for this location as opposed to anywhere else? Thanks Dell, P.S. - Ken I value everyones opinion, I am a flight paramedic and people and life mean a whole lot to me, please don't condemn me to hail because you got your feelings hurt, Sorry man, But Ken since I left you out, What is your feelings on this setup woud the temp reading be hotter lets say between 170-200 degrees? Thanks Ken and Dell you guys are Da' Bomb.

Rob..... ..iff'n I understand yer temp meter installation description correctly, yer saying it is somehow using one of the cylinderhead boltholes to mount the temp gauge. Instead of tapping the raised cast-boss by the radiator hose water outlet.

So iff'n I understand yer question correctly, YES yer weird temp gauge installation could and should read differently than the conventionally installed engine water outlet type reading gauge which is temp-regulated by the upper water hose installed thermostat = 160F.

BTW, many hot-rod flathead V-8s have cylinderhead mounted temp gauges, but they are taking advantage of already cast-in water plumbing for car-interior heater supply. And your N-Tractor has a heater?..... ...Dell

Almost certainly the hottest coolant temperature is at the front of the head where the HOT coolant exits the engine to flow to the radiator.

The water at the outlet port and along the feed line to the outlet port anlong the head should be about the same temp. Water up the top hose will be slightly cooler the farther it gets from the engine, till it spills over into the radiator for holding and cooling and then reintake ..e tc.
