159-John Deere 50D Mini Excavator repair project (part 4; t-stat & v-belt replaced)

In this part 4 of this Mini Excavator repair series, I finally get to tackle the overheating problem; the main reason I brought the JD home. Had to get a little creative though to do this engine work in the rain.. :)

Way to go! Great example of getting in there and fixing stuff vs. calling the people. Pretty great feeling to be able to maintain these machines on your own, and I'm sure a decent cost savings!
