Combines 8820 OVERHEATING NEED HElP

could your thermostat be stuck shut take it out or run the combine the way it is in the feild and see if it gets any higher than the 2_3 maybe you have a bad sending unit or guage good luck

Does your engine have a recently installed temp sending unitIJ

Don't know. Will check tomorrow and let you know. Thanks

If it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll get her in the field and try her out. I'm going to check the sending unit to see if its a new one. I'll let you all know what happens. Thanks AJTIII

If the sending unit has been recently installed make sure that no teflon tape has been used on the threads. There must be brass to metal contact.

If your top hose is hot and the bottom is not most likely your thermostate is stuck shut.

I could be wrong here but...

I don't think so.

like I said, if you ground the wire to the sender, the gauge should read HOT.

Guys,
