I have an e322, the same as yours only two wheel drive. Mine would run great (no overheat) doing all kinds of chores EXCEPT bush hogging. The radiator looked clean on top and water seemed to be passing through. Changed cap, thermostat, belt did parts changing until the only thing left was the radiator or block rust. Took radiator off and had rodded. The shop told me they had to rod three times because it was so clogged. My tractor now runs great. Stays at 180 no matter how long I run or what I do with it. The really good part was the radiator rodding only cost me $80.00.

Mr Sheaffer is very nice and can give basic knowledge on the tractor. I just changed my clutch on a Hinomoto E322 and was really concerned about doing it. I had never changed a clutch on a tractor so was intimidated. <br>
<br>
I pulled mine under a carport and used hydraulic jack to lift (on cross member just behind where engine and clutch housing bolt together). Make sure jack is stable and put a little pressure on it so everything feels tight. <br>
<br>
I had two jack stands ready to put under back half of tractor after they were separated. After removing hood, and all side cowling on engine I then attached an engine lift on the rear of engine (at hook that is already there). Just put a little tension on this jack also. <br>
<br>
Then it's just removing all electrical and hydraulic lines. After everything is removed that goes between front and back halves then its time to start unbolting. I had a table set up and put all bolts together in groups so I would hopefully remember which went where. Getting the two halves to separate was really anticlimactic. It helps with two people one on each side to use large screw drivers or crow bars to help with the separation. Make sure to use the jacks together lifting and lowering to reach the happy spot where they separate easily. Its not hard with a little trial and error.<br>
<br>
I would advise not buying clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and pilot bearing until you actually get the old one out to be able to measure and count the splines. I used a tool borrowed/rented from(O'reilly auto parts) to remove pilot bearing. If flywheel is not scored then I used fine wet/dry paper or scotch brite pad to just clean it up a little. <br>
<br>
I did get my parts finally from Southern Global 404 First Street North Wiggins, MS 39577 Phone: (601) 928-7491 Fax: (601) 528-9312. <br>
<br>
Mr. Shaeffer was unable to supply my parts. I waited for approximately two months (after the order)and then received the wrong parts. The lady at Southern Global was very knowledgeable and had my parts here in three days. If you have any mechanical ability/knowledge it was not so bad after I started the process. Just make time to do it and then dont be in a hurry. If you have any other questions just post. <br>
