5000 Overheating??

[Mmurphyhaygirl]

Thankyou I have been haying with this tractor for 40 yrs & never had any problems til now. Yes when it is thick I have to be in a lower gear but it still works fine. I have a 495 New Holland Haybine, Heston 4570 baler & New holland Bale wagon. So I am thinking I need to replace the thermostat? The needle fluctuates back & forth when driving around.

I hadn't realized that you're not the original poster, so my response was more relating to the original poster's issues (which I see are from 2009). I think you're probably best to start your own new thread describing your problems in detail. It's hard to tell from what you've posted exactly what your problem is. It sounds like you have a 5000 that's dying periodically? But it's not clear on if or why you think it might be heat-related. Start a new thread with details on the symptoms and we'll do our best to help you out.

thankyou. would that make it hard to start?should all connections on the regulator have power?

The voltage stabilizer is only for the fuel and temp gauges, it would have nothing to do with hard starting. There are two connections to it, key switch power (in) and regulated power to the gauges (out). The key switch side should be steady, the gauge side should be flashing.

I didnt realize I had to start my own thread as I was having some of the same problems. Got some good ideas no matter how many years ago it started. Have a good summer!

When adding to an old thread it’s best to mention your not the original poster with something like
Not original poster but have similar issues, or
Adding to an old post with similar issues
This helps to prevent answers like mine that were more related to the original post
But as said before it’s most often best to start a new thread

To answer some of your questions
The voltage stabilizer only effects the fuel and temperature gauges, it has nothing to do with how the engine starts or runs
If the engine gets hot enough it will eventually quit, but there will probably be serious engine damage
If the engine is shutting down you likely have a fuel delivery problem
Poor starting can be fuel issues or low compression
