Story is told in our neighborhood of an old cat-skinner who bought a brand new D8 Cat back in the '50's (he didn't much care for that new-fangled hydraulic blade, so made them put a cable blade on it, like he was used to). But it would overheat- not suddenly, but over the course of a half hour or so of running. And not just sometimes- but every time he used it. Local dealer couldn't figure out why- until a mechanic was standing in front of the rig while it was running, and became aware that hot air was hitting him. Turns out that the fan had been installed backwards at the factory, and it was blowing out air from around the engine. And as the engine warmed up, the air from around the engine got hotter, which make the water in the radiator get hotter, which in turn made the engine hotter- the proverbial "vicious circle". Turned the fan around, problem solved.
