Well guys I figured it out.Last we spoke i had decided to buy a working temp guage to see just what my engine was running at!I couldnt figure out why my fuel was burning off in the intake and never making it to my engine.With the arrival and installation of the new temp guage i found that once the engine was started my tractor temp increased until it borderd overheating.I pressure tested my system and had no leaks,Circulation seemed fine and my coolant mixture was correct so decided to rott my radiator,Still the same thing.Funny part is i have needed to change oil and figured i would just do it while i was out workin on it anyways.When i pulled the drain plug i heard several plops.upon inspection i found cast iron pieces,sticking my finger in the drain i felt alot more,I pulled the pan and found my oil pump had grenaded!!!God only knows why my oil pressure guage was reading oil pressure and why it ran quite?Well i replaced the pump along with bearings and she is no longer running hot and she now runs good.I never would have thought this tractor would have gotten this hot and never boiled over?Lets just see how long the cam lobes hold up after this incident!They looked good on inspection so i left the cam and lifters alone.Suprisingly the bearings looked good also but for the cost i changed them out to be safe.Anything else you guys can think of i should keep an eye out for after this event?Would oil samples be a wise decision for the next few oil changes?
