640, fan blade found shattered, gouge in radiator, radiator leaked coolant, tractor overheated
Soldered radiator gouge, cut off broken blade and its mirror opposite on 6 blade fan until new fan arrives.
Radiator full of coolant
temp gauge runs up into red at idle after a few minutes
not at all a big job to swap out/examine water pump (the one that is in there is a new one from this web site installed about 6 months ago) and the thermostat, but is there any troubleshooting I should do before that?
Also: any reason not to paint the rusty battery box with bedliner?
thx
