Hi All, We've got so much rain and snow here in the past two days that it is almost too wet to even drive down the county roads. Way, way sloppy. So, I'm gonna tear into a problem I've been fightin' for a year now. My darned 310 diesel is getting hot after about an hour of hard pulling. The gauge very slowly creeps up to the hot peg. If I stop the tractor and face it into the wind the temp comes down to about 3/4 on the gauge after about 5 minutes. Funny part is, when I take off the radiator cap to check it, the coolant is flowing and it just doesn't seem all that hot. It is not boiling over at all, but it just makes me nervious with that gauge running over on "hot" peg all the time. Somebody told me that the thermostat probably isn't opening all the way, so I've got a new one at the ready plus a new heat gauge. I've cleaned and flushed that radiator until I'm black in the face. Anyone got any more ideas as to what else could be the problem? Could the timing be slow 'er something? This tractor starts hard cold. If it is below 'bout 50 degrees, it had better be plugged in or else I have to give 'er a shot of either; below 40 and it absolutely will not start. If the outside temp is above 60 degrees, it doesn't turn over once and it's running. Don't know if this has anything to do with it getting hot or not? Thanks, Allan

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
