I just purchased my Kubota and I love it. I was mowing in heavy conservation reserve grass in Medium range. Tractor overheated and instantly blew out the new block heater and spewed coolant all over. The tractor has 7 hours on it. When I checked the radiator screen It was plugged with dust and wetland grass. Cleaned it. What position is the block heater supposed to be in the dealer put it in the left side hole easy access. How is it retained in. I got a socket and tapped it back in cleaned radiator screen and mowed another 45 minutes with it no overheat now. Why didnt the hot light come on I never noticed the temp gauge even go up. Added coolant and reinstalled block heater works now. What else might be wrong? Thermostat? Radiator cap? Any help would be appreciated.
