might take a straight bar or rod 12 to14 inches put in large radiator fill opening lift from this point. depending on the problem I have removed 2 of the four bolts on top and slid thin sheet of steel blocking return flow to head. hook garden hose to three eights pipe used for drain. this backflushes radiator throwing crud out the top. If possible use hot water. I have also put dawn dish soap in clean water and ran for a time (WILL FOAM OVER) . This loosens crud then do the back flush. if the problen is leakage and not too severe after back flush barrs stop leak works well as this is a no pressure system.

As the manual says "Method of removing the radiator is self-evident after examining the tractor." As I recall look for 2 1/2" x5 fasteners under the tractor. It comes off as a unit, Top tank, sides, bottom tank and core.

Unless you have been hitting the weights lately you may want to have a shop crane or a friend to help. That sucker is heavy and it will break (or flatten your foot)if you drop it.

I've found it becomes easier to take the bottom part of the fan shroud off the radiator assembly for installation and removal so you can clear the fan. Then removing the upper radiator connection (4 bolts), disconnecting the lower radiator hose and removing the bolts that hold the radiator on the bottom. Lean the radiator slightly forward and LIFT (or hoist). Have a place to set it down gently... you're not going to want to hold it in the air for very long. It's somewhere around 100 pounds and awkward.

If you can remove the bolts sticking out of the top of the tank, put some longer ones on a chain through them and use an engine hoist it makes things a lot easier.
