Topic

I've had a 2210 for a month or so now, and have really been impressed with it, with one exception: the grill screens tend to get covered over very easily when mowing really tall, dry grass (which we're afflicted with here in south Texas). That leads to overheating, unless I stop and clear the screens every few minutes. I've invested in a modified push broom that I can now use to clear the side screens from the seat, but I only came up with that after a particularly hot day when I suddenly noticed the high temp light lit up and heard the coolant in the reservoir boiling. I immediately stopped and cleared the screens, and the temp light went out after a minute or so, but the engine could have been in that overtemp condition for anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. So, here are a few questions:

1. What do I need to check/replace on the engine after having run it with the high temp light on? I've already added the coolant that was boiled off (a cup or so) and checked the oil.

2. Can anyone recommend an aftermarket temperature gage I could install myself, or do you think the dealer could add one? I really prefer a gage over just the warning light.

3. Any suggestions on ways to improve the airflow on tractors like the 2210 that are so close to the ground?

Thanks, y'all!
