Maybe I have too much time on my hands. I could not help but notice the temp gauge on my 60 3A is broken up into 4 equal increments. The first mark says 90; the middle says 185 and the top says 230.

I believe the answer lies somewhere between those two extremes, David. After half a century of service, it's doubtful whether any of the marks mean anything ... but the gauge mechanism is "non linea

The very small chamber in the front is for the rear brakes. The larger, main chamber, is for the front brakes. So, the answer to your question is to fill them both up. Irv Korey 74 TR6 CF22767U Highl

Thanks for the replies. It looked like that was the case but the aperture for filling the front chamber looks way too small to easily get fluid into. Not the best of designs. -- Original Message -- F

Hi Dave; I'm not convinced an electric fan is going to cure the problem. If everything is as it should be, then in 85F weather the benefit of an electric fan would be felt only when idling or inching

Corrosion can cause the pump vanes to wear down over time, and once the pump begins to cavitate, that can accelerate the wear. That said, the pump doesn't have to leak to create symptoms of overheati
