I have a Link Belt 225, it has always benn serviced by the factory and is in very good shape. It has been used for a few large demo jobs and always seemed to run in the upper third on the needle.. the light comes on but the buzzer does not. . We are now digging a large foundation and after about half an hour of hogging the needle goes up in the red, we changed out the temp. sensor and nothing changed. The machine holds coolent and there is no oil in it. You can take the radiator cap off and touch the water with a glove on. although yesterday the operater said it seemed a bit hotter. He did not burn his finger though. apart from putting a manuel temp. sensor in the cab I do not know what to do. Th fuel filter is fresh, it has just been serviced, the screens and radiator are clean. Monday I will take a meat thermometer and check the collent temp to se if it is just the needle... very frustrating to say the least considering i just paid the machin off.Has anyone seen this, are there any link belt or case wrenches around to help. thanks for the help. ............Yes I will be buying a 210x2 next!
