      well I just pulled it apart and it has a 72c thermostat now it make sense it ran at 70 c the rad cap was marked 0.6 . I will put in a 180 f thermostat and a recovery bottle and see what happens.

        I can not remember it has been a few years since I was in there , but I am glad to see that about the rubber ring I had forgot about that thread that could be the problem in its self. how many pound of spring do you think on the rad. cap?

          ok the recovery bottle might be a challenge but I shall see if I can come up with something and I will just replace the thermostat with a 180 , what do you think about drilling a small hole in the thermostat and not using the bypass?

            that is a  a-plus on that filter adapter the only catch is you need to have a housing with a screw in nipple that holds the filter, I have a tractor that had a cast in nipple to hold the filter so I bought a new oil filter housing so I could use the adapter and more common filters . I can not remember the thread size but I use a ph-8a style filter very common

              I would say that if your three point hydros work when oil is cold and doesn’t when it gets to a normal working temp. that you have a pressure problem in the three point lift system or something is bypassing. I am not familiar with that lift but the old fords there are adjustments that can be made to the pump and associated springs .

                If you use a gl-4 rated oil it is yellow metal safe. I have called the oil company of which I was going to buy gl-5 and asked them if there oil used chlorine to make there oil ,most say no. but it is better to ask.

                  humm I think I would think about try to get a correct dipstick cause that is what I default to. I know that the engine capacities and the books sometimes do not match , whereas the engine builders SHOULD put in the right stick for that engine their building. But if you have had no trouble running 7 quarts I would  use it again ,better than not having enough in there.

                    is there any other pluses for a high track besides being able to make a shorter dozer which I assume would make it turn quicker?

                      I know this is apples and oranges but I bought a 2005 in 2007  dong feng- 3 cyl, 20 hp, 4 wheel dr. power steering ,no loader but a 5 ft finish mower with 100 hours for 4500.00 so based on that I hope it helps you not pay to much.

                        is it 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive does it have a loader or other accessories? what does the rubber look like? and does it have the right tires for your needs? if they give you a day to check it out before the auction look at the fluids. ask some of the sponsors on this site listed they should help you with what to look at too. like how many hours also.
