I just purchased a new JD4120 w/ FEL & MX6. I had it out today doing some mowing for about 1.5 - 2 hours. The water temperature gauge never moved off the left/cold peg. The engine "seemed" to be running fine, but of course with this being my first time using it, I don't really have a good frame of reference. When I first noticed the needle was not moving, about 10-15 minutes after starting, I called dealer and they said that this was not normal, but to run it for a good hour and see if it ever came up, it did not. I lifted the hood and the plastic water reservoir was at the "full cold" level and the reservoir was cool to the touch. I was able to place and hold my hand on the radiator and cap, they were warm, but not hot. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help!
