I'll have to stop 2-3 times to let it cool a bit and vacuum out the radiator screen before the lawn is done. Takes for ever in this type of weather .
Mine would creep up that high when mowing in the 90's too. Never got over 210 so I wasn't worried yet but still like it when it stays around 180.

I wonder why it it is that high?, could it be you have a bad head gasket?

Your head gasket is fine. There would be many more symptoms if it was bad. 210 is not really "overheating" Is that as hot as it got?

I asked about T-stat temp because you can change thermostats in temp increments. The temp stamped on the T-stat is the temp it opens at. For instance if you have a 190 degree T-stat the coolant in the engine should reach 190 in theory and open allowing cooled water from radiator to now flow to engine and hot water to flow to radiator to be cooled. I am sure a lot of the issue is the radiator air not flowing enough due to grass clippings but I would wonder how the grass clippings got there? You deck discharges from the side right? In any event. You could change the T-stat to open sooner or later depending on the issue your having. You did mention you put a new T-stat in.. Some T-stats can mistakenly be installed backwards. Not saying you did this but it would be worth checking if your not certain its in the correct way.

Edit. I realize the radiator is directly over the front of the deck so grass blowing up could happen. If there is a gap below it I think I would put some sheet metal there to block it as much as I could.

Coop this series with Kubota has a big radiator fan that creates suction and pushes anything that’s around into that screen

Understood... Was just thinking there might be a way to lessen what can get in it. Better shroud or something to that effect.

It's really kind of a weird setup to me. The radiator and fan are in the back of the engine, right over the deck and is encased in the gauge cluster. Not very good airflow. Mine never gets over 210 and like it was mentioned, 210 isn't overheating, or really even that hot when you are talking about water cooled engines.

Steve - try running the tractor with the side panels off next time you mow when it is extremely hot outside. If the engine water temperature runs cooler than the 210 you've seen previously, the problem is air flow to the radiator with the side panels on.

There is a SB about it overheating. Also be sure you are not using the old style grill.
It is here.

So, if that SB was put out in 1991, would model years after that come with the kit factory installed? What year does the OP have?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
