Removal of Radiatior

I am sure there are a number of forums dedicated to classic tractors that could give more precise answers than you will find here.

I have very little experience of agricultural tractors so I won't even begin to guess. If faced with the task of removing a radiator I would hope it would be a fairly intuitive process. If the radiator cannot be removed downwards, which if memory serves would mean removing lots of heavy stuff, then it must be removed upwards or sideways and that will mean removing body panels and cowlings, a much lighter prospect.

blocked radiator fins,tubes,fins perished,.renew thermostat with genuine one.they are not worth relying on old ones.take it to a radiator specialist if radiator looks blocked.Sometimes dirt collects between radiatior and airconditioning radiator

NOPE YOU HAVE TO REMOVE FRONT FENDERS AND BUMPER COVER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT COOLANT HOSES AND REMOVE COOLANT FANS.YOU CANT GET TO RADIATOR UNLESS YOU REMOVE BOTH FENDERS AND BUMPER COVERS.

CHECK COOLANT LEVEL STILL LOW.ADD MORE COOLANT.UNTIL RADIATOR OVERFLOW FULL AT COLD MARK.THEN CRANK ENGINE UP LET IDLE FEW MINUTES LOOK DOWN COOLANT OVER FLOW JUG ADD MORE COOLANT IF LEVEL DROPPED.WHILE ENGINE RUNNING KEEP EYE ON TEMPERATURE GAUGE.WHEN THERMOSTAT HOSE GET HOT.TURN OFF ENGINE WAIT A LITTLE WHILE TO KEEP FROM GETTING SCALD TAKE LARGE RAG PLACE OVER OVERFLOW JUG RADIATOR CAP.OPEN CAP A LITTLE A TIME.IF COOLANT TRIES BOIL OUT.LET VECHICLE SET A WHILE LONGER.ADD MORE COOLANT.WHEN COOLANT LEVEL CORRECT AND ALL AIR OUT THE COOLANT SYSTEM.IT WILL STOP OVERHEATING.LONG AS ENGINE RUNNING HOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE POUR IN MORE COOLANT UNTIL COOLANT LEVEL STOP DROPPING IN RADIATOR.KEEP COOLANT LEVEL IN OVERFLOW AT COLD MARK.DONT OVER FILL OVERFLOW JUG.

How is the interior heat? Is it normal or are you only getting about 1/4 of what it used to be like when it was newer? Are you running a summer thermostat or a winter thermostate? The thermostat may be defective and not closing all the way and needs to be replaced or the Coolant Temperature Sensor may be Defective and needs to be replaced. I love these cars. Good Luck and have a good XMASS.

a thermostant job is not much, maybe 60.00 to $70.00. but wheres the leak?

If you are going to the expense of replacing the head gasket, it would be false economy not to also replace the thermostat at the same time.
Particularly if you are attempting to solve a overheating problem.

To change your radiator you would need to first drain the fluid out of your old radiator. It should have a plug on the bottom right hand side. Once this is done you can then remove the brackets that hold the radiator in place. Be sure to first remove the clamps that have a hold of both the upper and lower hose. Once this is done you can remove the radiator with ease.

You don't get there that way. remove the six or so bolts that attach the rail above the radiator to the front trim, and, remove the bolts that hold the same rail to the radiator and rail extensions from the front fenders (including latch loop) also remove the electric fan. once you get the top rail off remove the air box, lower hose and trans cooler lines. Radiator lifts straight up.

Hi, you do not have to remove radiator and electrial fan.Just remove bolts with torks #45 and on top #30 tork,pull radiator and ic called service position.
