Toro 522xi

[rich bidwell]

I have a toro 522xi with a kohler motor,I am having an high oil temp problem.I have blown and cleaned everthing on the motor still goes to the red in about 10 mins of running.I also have a charging problem does anyone think they are related?Looking for any help or suggestions i have tried everything short of tearing the engine apart.By the way the tractor runs perfect otherwise.

Do you have the ability to test the gauge or do you have a different one to swap. Also, check the wiring and connections. Any resistance will cause the gauge to read high.

No i don't our toro dealers don't stock much so i have to order gauge/sensor.I think it actually is hot but i'm not certain of that would anyone know a temp reading i "should" get if i use a temp gun(i'm a heating tech by trade).And thanks for the help.

Please post the numbers for both the unit and the engine. I'm having trouble picturing the exact set-up, I'm a visual guy.
