okay. here's the latest. have been cleaning radiator/hyd. cooler/screen every afternoon at quitting time so it would dry overnight. bumping down throttle just causes less power...no change in temp. i'm thinking maybe the fan belt is a possible problem because when i'm washing out the coolers i can hear a pitch change in the fan. don't know yet if there's a slipping problem just when there's water in there or if it's slipping more than just then. boss said just keep an eye on it and as long as it's not running into the red, keep working. would LOVE to come to the yellow side, unfortunately ain't my decision OR my money. thanks for all the suggestions and places for me to look. will keep trying on the suggestions during brief down times.
