I've thrown the parts cannon at it, New Radiator, New TStat, New Water pump, Hoses. Knocked out frost plugs to flush block, there was nothing in it, to speak of anyway. Was bush hogging yesterday and it was getting hot so I stopped, watched temps really rise once I stopped, used starter to turn engine over with key off, temps went down again but then right back up once I stopped. Could there be air in the head? that I haven't got bled out? I have a shroud but its not on, its never had one and I never had this issue until a 4 or 5 years ago.
I think I've asked your help on this before. The parts I'm getting are China made reproductions so Tstat or whatever could be bad I suppose? What say you?
