Hugh,
Our 1086 has 8000 hours on it right now. If your 1066 went 9000 hours and had this problem then I should probably start being concerned. Dad bought this tractor new in '78 but I guess he never got the memo stressing the need to change the water filter/conditioner (unfortunate). It does still run well but uses some oil and has this issue with the temp guage running on the high side. Oh well, it's probably long past due for a rebuild anyway.

Anyhow, thanks to all for the responses. It sounds like there is some question as far as what I meant by cavitation. If anyone would like, I'll explain this phenomenon as clearly and briefly as I can but it will more than likely end up being a small novel. I'm one of those people that we all curse about as we are wrenching on a broken piece of equipment, wondering who the h*ll designed this and what in the h*ll were they thinking, if anything! (I'm a mechanical engineer).

Thanks again,
Chad
