I have heard of those JD "B" tractors that will pull 2-14 in 4th gear and if you can pull 2-16, you have some pretty special ground...!! Mine is plenty Stout and will only pull 2-14 in 2nd and 3rd... Does your have a water pump..? Mine does and will never get to 160, if I don't close the shutters..even in the Summer.. If yours was an "All-Fuel" tractor, and has been converted to Higher Compression, for Gasoline..there may need to be a Heat Shield added to the bottom of the Fuel tank...but, I think, trying to loosen the fuel cap, to let it equalize with the outside air and see if it will settle down.. As I recall, gasoline will Boil at 76 Degrees if un-pressurized... Maybe an improvised Heat Shield would help if it kept the sediment bowl a little cooler... The Exhaust Manifold may heat it up..but I have never had any trouble with that..just Moisture in the Mags, if they set out over night..!!
