I am pretty positive it overheated. When I walked up to it, the temp gauge was pegged at the end of the hot range and then the radiator cap started to unseat and relieve the excess pressure from the boiling. It had not been worked hard. I started it up to move a haybine, moved it, and then let it sit and idle for 5 minutes while I got some oil back in the oil can. It ran for all of 20 minutes The fan belt is 1 year old and is nearly tight enough to turn the motor over with. I can look right through the radiator, so the fins aren't plugged, and it is a 1 year old radiator that was filled with distilled water, so it isn't plugged internally. The water pump works, as I can see the flow when the tractor is running. Pretty much the only thing that I am left with is the thermostat sticking and then finally letting loose when it boiled. It has run on 2 cylinders for an hour and it has not reached run on the gauge since.
