I bought the machine with 2600 hrs. I notice a coolant leak and the coolant reservoir full. The sight glass was empty and filled it back up (this helped me get hot heat back at the heater) and siphoned the reservoir tank down.
About 30 hrs later a guy was running it and the machine overheated and coolant all over the engine. The reservoir tank was full again and the sight glass was empty. From standing at the back of the machine the right side of the engine bay was wet but not the right side. I repeated filling the radiator up to the sight glass and drained down the reserve tank.
I ran then machine before the second step of filling and draing, up to temperature to try and repeat the occurence but nothing happened. Watching the sight glass coolant would fill up and then lower and fill up and lower.
Since then, I have about 5 hrs on the machine. Operating temperature is about 203F and no over heating issues.
But I now (not sure if I ever did) do not have cold ac it's about air temp.
Lots of things going on here......
