Hey Vic,
Love the site and the videos are great! I've got a B7100 sn B7001-60269 and was wondering what year model it was? I've been told by some that it could be any where from a 77 to a 90 but my guess is early 80's I also would like to know what the normal operating temp should be? I've noticed some coolant leaking from the overflow tube lately. the radiator cap appears to be original and the gasket on it is cracked I've tried to find a replacement at local auto parts stores but they have no way to determine the correct pressure rating and I'm afraid I'll blow out a hose or something worse if I get one with too much pressure! the original cap had 0.9 on it but nobody locally knows what unit of measure that is. I checked the radiator tank with an infrared thermometer after 1 hour of mowing and got a reading of 210 degrees F. Is this within normal range or do I have more problems than a cap?
Thanks
John C
