It needs a thermostat, and has a coolant leak.

Oh no! I just bought one of these, how many hours do you have on it?

It’s up there. It’s 8 years old, and used all seasons.

It is a fantastic machine, blows snow, spreads gravel and moves all my spare V8's around! Hopefully your coolant leak is outward as opposed to the milkshake kind.

It also cuts the lawn, but right now the mower deck in removed.

something something shoulda bought a something... blue oval... (they’re all made in Japan anyway, and most of them are either Shibaura, Yanmar or Mitsubishi inside... the Ford/New Hollands are Shibaura, google indicates the Massey’s are Iseki...)

The MF is a perfect size for our property. Anything larger be too much.

yeah, they are very capable for their size too. Iseki crams a 1.1L into that tiny little chassis, our Shibaura/Ford is only a 1.6L, though the extra 10-PTO HP do make an appreciable difference under heavy load... still a lot of power for the size crammed into those little things.

Ours does with 22.5hp, 18hp@PTO. Not a bad little 1.1L N/A diesel.

The Forums say if I can get my hands on an appropriately tiny turbo, the 1.6 in our Ford is good for a reliable 40+/-PTO-hp. They do start blowing rings if you go much above that though...
