  Mule overheats

I'm jumping in a little late on this, but there's something I'm unclear about here.

Are you saying that an air pocket keeps developing over & over, and this is consistantly preventing the fan from coming on?

  Mule overheats

Well then Dick, I'm sorry to be the guy to ruin your day.

The only viable source of that much air, and the overheating problem is likely a blown head gasket.

The symptoms you are describing are a classic head gasket leak problem.

The cylinder compression is forcing past the gasket and pushing air into the coolant, since the coolant is a closed system the air is trapped there and just builds up.

Try doing a compression test on the cooling system. It may not show, buty I bet you are loosing pressure in the cooling system.

The easy test is to try running the machine with the rad cap loose, if the air doesn't build up, (you might even see bubbles or foaming in the water) and it doesn't over heat you'll have found the problem.

If the headgasket is blown, you might also know why you were "given" instead of "sold" a Mule, Laughing out loud.

Best of luck.

As Ace said it can manifest itself in many ways, depending on where the gasket has failed, or the block or head has cracked.

Best of luck.
