I am trying to remove the radiator on my 860 to do more work on it. One of the bolts just turns and the nut will not come off. How are the bolts attached to the radiator? If I cut it, can I put a new bolt in it's place?

I just changed my 661 radiator and used a hack saw to cut one of the bolts which kept spinning. After I got it apart I saw that it was a carrage bolt which fits in a slot on the bottom bracket of the radiator. Had I understood this I think I could have got the bolt head back in the slot and took the nut off. In my case I had ( unknown to me) the bolt out of the slot. The bolt was easy to replace BUT I put more work into cutting the bolt than I wanted to.

John, it looks like you got lots of contradictory information in these replies. Let me add to it :). Dan is correct, the radiator is mounted with carriage bolts, altough they may be a special, larger, flatter head than normal. Check this out with your Hew Holland dealer. There is a rubber pad between the bottom radiator mount and the frame to which it mounts. The bolt shoulders on your bolt may be rounded, or as Dan says it may be the hole.

The bottom line is, you may carefully cut this bolt off and replace it with new. If you use a torch be extra careful. Also you will likely need to replace the rubber pad if you go the torch route. HTH

Yes, you will be able to replace the carrage type bolt. Sounds like the hole got rounded off on the sheet metal bottom of your radiator.

I beleive the radiator is mounted on springs, so you will have to hold the nut on the bottom. I have a 850 and have been there before, it was 20 years or so since I pulled mine. If I remember right its a lock nut or a castle nut with a cotter pin through it.
