There are 3 bolts/bolt nut points to insure that belt is tight and kept tight. I will take picture as I just picked up refreshed radiator ($125.00).  Big problem was the 33" belt that was in place it is just too long for this application. Have new 32" belt to try instead.
Currently looking at past radiator separations from the fourm. Going to do that as reassembling,  just makes sense. I also will be moving control box to driver 1 compartment. Anyone needing pictures of original views with radiator and water pump removed. Please ask.

With limited further investigation I'm suspecting I do in fact have an overheating issue. I'll be replacing (at a minimum) the thermostat and water-pump belt. Has anyone found the best-price source for Kubota engine parts?

Update On Power Tech Shutdown

Reply #23 –
The solution to my 10 kW Power Tech (Kubota w/remote radiator) engine shutting down after running for a few minutes was relatively simple. Inspection of the belt area showed that the belt had broken because the idler-pulley bearings had failed. The belt and pulley were available from Power Tech. The interesting issue raised by another Foreforums member is that Power Tech shows the correct thermostat being a 180 degree thermostat, while Foretravel used a 160 degree thermostat in our applications. Another benefit of being a part of this group and the sharing useful information that occurs here!
