The first time out with a new to me tractor finding all the hidden secrets. I mean, it's 40+ years old, little things will go wrong, especially electronicals.
@@NoNo-zf6tz From memory I think chisel plow was about 13 or 15 tine and cutivator/ scarifier was about 22 feet ,long time ago .We only ran at about 2200rpm because at 2800rpm all day there is just to much stress I believe even though they seem to handle it.
For the thousands of dollars it would cost to repair that engine I would not mess around with an electric temp gauge, replace it with a mechanical gauge even if you have to order one with an extra long capillary tube, by the way i like the big tires.....you should never have to mess around putting duals on it.
So the thing to first do is pull the thermostat and make sure the engine cooling system is adequate to even cool the engine. Shoot ya'll may need a fan shroud and a fan with more blades. Usually someone has removed the fan shroud making the fan sit out in open air.
Jacob, sounds like the White has plenty of power for the job! If you ever need mechanical information about the Whites Chris from the u tube video That's an Oliver guy. Chris is very knowledgeable. But you have a very good day. Oh I want to ask how is your dad? Skip Western PA
You can breath easy that it's not over heating. Never the less you want to get that gauge working so you can depend on to give you the correct temperature of the engine
Early ones were troublesome with cast cam, crank, no oil cooling jets for the pistons etc but Cat kept improving them and the later ones were very good in the right application.
It the temp gauge is pegged it’s probably fully grounded or not at all. Look for rubbed or broken wire. Easy fix had it on my 1586. Was a broken ground
Speaking of the 2 plus 2 you ever going to use it or run it or even fix it? I don't understand why folks don't get themselves a true four wheel drive like a green Steiger or a Versatile or even a big 9300 Deere and stop messing with those four wheel drive wanna be tractors...
