Since you used the tractor one day and temp hit 190 then dropped back and stayed there says there was NOT an air lock when it over heated the second run, nor was the thermostat installed wrong. What happened was after the first run of the tractor, the thermostat closed as it cooled off, the valve portion of the thermostat got bound as the neck it sets in, when closed, contracted around the valve binding it so it could not open. I have seen this few times over the years. Anymore I test the old thermostat in a pan of water and if it tests fine I reinstall due to have new thermostats stick or fail the second or third run of a tractor. I seriously doubt your water pump has an issue. The radiator cap needs to open at low pressure also 5-7 psi I think. The opening pressure should also be tested to make sure as there is too much stuff being imported from the land of "almost made right"
