I have a question for you. Yesterday I was combining with my 403 that I put a 301 diesel in, and it got so hot it quit. (I was watching the temp gage but apparently it is not accurate) I was able to start it a few minutes later (it had a ton of blow-by) and backed it up out of the row and shut it back down as it was not cooling off. (There was a strong wind blowing on the engine which helped a great deal) I let it sit for a couple hours and noticed the fan belt had been eaten out leaving just the outside strip. I put on a new fan belt, added a quart of oil and two gallon of water and started to combine again. The engine does not knock, and there is no longer any blow-by or blue smoke. Is it possible I got lucky and did not hurt anything, or when ever an engine gets so hot it quits it is guaranteed damage somewhere. Thanks for your advice.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
