Why would a car not start after overheating?
Based on your description the engine was overheating and the overheating was accompanied by a large coolant leak. Overheating can warp the cylinder head and/or engine block, which can cause a failure to start due to loss of compression, valve damage and so forth.
Why is the temperature gauge on the dashboard not working?
Thus, the temperature gauge on your dashboard is your window into the coolant temperature as seen by the temperature sending unit. It lets you know when the engine is cool, at operating temperature, overheating, or fluctuating. The sending unit is a thermistor. It is exposed on one side to engine coolant.
What happens if your car temperature gauge is low?
A low level will lead to engine overheating. If your car doesn’t have a reservoir or recovery tank, wait for the engine to cool and check the level through the radiator neck. The level should be about 1/2 an inch below the bottom of the radiator neck but above the radiator core.
Why does my fuel gauge not read Hot?
From your temperature data presented, your tractor is not getting hot. Your temperature gauge is apparently reading high. Could be a defective temperature sending unit, or a defective temperature gauge, or a defective voltage stabilizer. Does your fuel gauge seem to read high as well?
How to know if your tractor engine is overheating?
Sounds like you are taking the temperature of the engine by placing the probe on the outside of the block. (warm up the engine with the cap off) What’s the water temperature of the water at the top of the radiator? As one member to another……welcome. Warning!
What does it mean when temperature gauge does not move?
If you notice the gauge fluctuating rapidly without giving a precise reading, it is a sign. When the needle does not move even after several minutes or stay in the red zone, it indicates a faulty or broken gauge. You should learn about factors that contribute to rising the temperature of the gauge.

How can I tell if my car is overheating?
That seems pretty drastic for an overheating problem unless you had some mixing or loss of fluids.
