chadd: Heat is one of the pitfalls of European built IH tractors, and indeed all utility type tractors designed so operator sits straddle transmission. Then you add a cab with lots of hydraulic plumbing inside. Gas engines also throw a lot more heat than diesel. The horizontal exhaust adds to this heat. All these factors add to your problem.

You also mention this external pump, is this something that has been added other than a factory pump? It could be you have a pump that is pumping to much volume for the system. That will add to heat and zap power as well.

I suspect this combination of items I've outlined is your problem. I'd first check the volume of that pump if not factory. Secondly, I'd try and remove as much of that hydraulic plumbing from the cab as possible. This can be done using cable controlled valves. Put that damn exhaust vertical. These aren't going to create miricles, but will help a bit.
