Question for all who are versed in engine operation.

I am scheduled to run my 1250 in a parade on Saturday. The predicted high for the day is 102 degrees. The parade starts at 4:00 P.M., and runs for about 2.5 miles.

The tractor has side curtains, an in-tact muffler box, and, what I believe to be, the original grill. The tractor has headlights, which may limit upper air intake. I do not have the rubber plug for the spark plug, but probably could make one. There is fresh CaseIH Akcela low ash engine oil, SAE 30 in the crank case. I use 87 octane gasoline without ethanol. Occasionally, I add an ounce of MMO and Stabil to the gas if I know it won't be used within a reasonable length of time.

Am I putting my beloved 1250 at risk by participating in this parade under these extreme conditions?
