I just think having the temperature gauge is a good idea. The old one was broken and the previous owner didn't even know that it was supposed to be a temperature gauge.

As far as the coolant level the manual says it should be 2 1/2" inches from the top of the cap. Mine was at the right level until I changed the temperature gauge out and now it is probably 3" from the top of the cap.

I thought that you needed a gasket since these are pressure type cooling systems? I'm not worried about the tractor overheating but it does make a mess when the coolant overflows everytime you shut the tractor off and sometimes while it is running for a couple hours straight. Right now antifreeze is not cheap.

That's why I'm wondering about replacing the cap. Hopefully the gasket will solve the overflowing problem.

Thanks, Nathan
