rick deere · Nov 9, 2014

I replaced radiator on my 720lp, been so long since Id done one I took the power steering off at the four bolts you loosen to make it go left and right. put it back on and took it off as an intire unit.I new this might not be good, after got all back together and I started tractor went to the right very fast.Got weight off front and loosen those 4 bolts used my hammer and just cant seem to get it center just right. any ideas on why Im having problem with it.Did I mess something up??Thanks

It is a very finicky adjustment. I suggest you try again.

Exact same story on my 70 LP. I took the whole thing off as a unit, so I didn't think I'd have to adjust the fore and aft setting, but I think that since I used a new gasket on it when I put the whole unit back on the pedestal, that that must have been the reason why mine started turning to the left as soon as I started it up. At any rate, I got it adjusted okay using a dial indicator to help me see how much it was moving when I adjusted it. A few thousandths of an inch was all it took. Hugh

If you don't my asking, could you email me about where and how much for your new radiator? Thanks. Hugh McKinney
