Ran for about 4 hours today and the temp gauge never went over half way. I did notice I needed to add some hydraulic fluid, wondering is there any correlation between low hydraulic fluid and engine temperature?

I think your on to something. I've got a volt meter, the necessity to learn all the settings never has come up. I think it just came up. Don't mind buying original whatever parts if I just knew that was the prob!em. I need to circle back to Dave's suggestions. Thanks again, I'm not a mechanic...
