I don t know the engine rpm to get 540 pto on the 4 spd model, our 850 was 1800 rpm, my 881 was 1900 for 540 and 2100 for 1000 pto
Best to use a digital tach to find 540 pto speed, whatever the dash rpm is is where you should run it
Operating a mower or other pto driven device at slower than recommended 540 pto actually works the tractor harder
We worked our 850 at 1800 for hours at a time, when traveling on the road the throttle was pulled back as for as it would go
200 degrees won t hurt the engine but most Fords only have a 7 psi radiator cap, so it will start boiling the coolant out around 215-220, keeping it under 190 would be better
That model came with a charge indicator light that is all you really need, if you want another gauge I d get a volt meter
