BX1500 Diesel running cold.

[Steveatusl]

I’m operating tractor in warm weather with mower attachment running. Temperature gauge is pegged to full cold.
Tractor runs for a bit and then stalls. Diesel in tank was just pumped from gas station today. Radiator was replaced about 1.5 years ago.
I’m thinking stalling is because of cold engine, but don’t know why I’m not showing any engine warming on the temp gauge.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Sounds like two separate issues. Stalling more than likely is a fuel issue.

Does the temperature gauge move at all when you turn the key on? Find the temperature sensor and see if the wiring is still connected.

Maybe get a laser thermometer and check the top and bottom of the radiator, block, etc.

I've had occasional issues with the electrical connection between the sending unit and the gauge on my BX over the years....mine showed it was HOT when it wasn't even to 130 degrees......
