DC's running hot

Just a suggestion, if you are working your DC this summer? Cambodia is hot, and it probably antagonizes the problem, but every one of the DC's we've been working on needed a radiator rodding. I would estimate at least 2/3 of the flues were plugged with chunks of rust. It did not come out easy! We used a truck dipstick with a sharpened point, and it still took at least 1/2 day per radiator to open them up. Does anyone know of an in line screen or filter that could be fit into the system?

A big magnet in the top radiator tank grabs most of it before it gets to the radiator.

Just a thought and don't know availability in your part of the world, but have you tried using distilled water to reduce the mineral content?

In my C, L, LAs some of the radiator rod problem is caused by grease from the water pump. If the grease cap is turned down too often, a bit of grease is force into the coolant. It gradually builds up along with other gunk in the coolant to block the radiator.

Unfortunately, if the cap is not turned down often enough the bearings on the water pump wear out.

When we were running these tractors seriously we turned the cap half a turn at lunch time and half a turn when we finished work at night. We ran these tractors in hot weather, often well over 100 degrees F.
