Hi tractor people,

I was wondering if 72°c at the top of the head ( reading with laser termometer) was an ok temp? After running a small mower for an hour in 25°C weather

The temp gage is in the "cold" zone, should it not be around 80°C?

For info i think it has its termostat and is not stuck open as i dont see water moving in the radiator and its around 40°C.

Otherwise runs great, no smoke, sips fuel, starts very easily even in cold weather.

1969 mf 165 with the 4.212 perkins original engine

Thanks!
