My understanding is that the Super C has a fluid pump. How would one know that the pump is working? I hear that it seems to kick into a faster speed, but my temperature gauge doesn't move much at all. But I am not working it hard. Just curious if there is a way to check (recently replaced fluid and there wasn't much crud at all).

Yes, the Super C has a water pump. Mine rarely moved very far off the bottom peg.

I should have been more clear. Mine seldom moved very far off the cold indication on the water temperature gauge, even when the engine was fully warmed up.

Only with the throttle. The more throttle, the faster the fan spins.

Strange, then I wonder what is happening. It can be idling and it clearly sounds like the fan doubles in speed while the engine RPM stays constant. Almost like my car on a hot day with the AC on...it will periodically sound like the fan kicks into high gear for a while.

That's the fan clutch. Certain temperatures make it engage/disengage. Does your car have an electric fan on it?

So there is a fan clutch, okay. I have no idea what my car has....I started from scratch with anything mechanical last year with my first cub and I should work my way up to my Highlander by about 2025!!! That's why I find the discovery process so invigorating. Thank you.

I don't think your tractor has a fan clutch on it, I was referring to your vehicle.

I'm guessing here but maybe the fan belt is slipping intermittently....
