Radiator Vent Drain Tube on Model 60

I've got a late model 60 (s/n 6048041) and about 6" of the top of the vent drain tube appears to have rusted/broken off over the years.
Was this tube (Deere #A4960R) somehow threaded or attached to the brass flange filler on the radiator or just "held near" the brass filler flange by the clip located further down the drain tube?
Is the brass filler flange (Deere #AA5756R) supposed to have some kind of "tube-like" extension out the side of it to drain into the vent drain tube?
Finally, how is the brass filler flange removed and installed on the radiator top tank?
Thanks in advance

Al,

I assume your 60 radiator is similar to my 50's radiator. The overflow tube is held in place by a rubber packing. There is a short hollow bolt screwed into the flange. Unscrew this bolt and remove whatever is left of the packing. The new packing is available from Deere and is not expensive. The hollow bolt is available from Deere as well. I used copper pipe for the new overflow tube. The tube runs through the hollow bolt and the packing goes around the tube between the bolt and the flange. When you screw in the bolt the packing compresses and holds the tube in place.

I don't know how to remove the flange itself.

Best of luck,
John

If I understand you question right, you are talking about the over flow tube? If so the small hole just below the cap has a brass tube with a flaired end inside the filler tube where it is soddered and then goes out the hole down the front of the radiator and under the radirator and then bends towards the ground by the tool box. There are 2 brackets that hold the tube in place. It is a standard brass tube from the hardware store. On the tank, the filler tube was brazed onto the cast tank top. Had one come loose one time and didn't want to drain it so the old JB weld has come to save the day. One time I fixed a broken cast tank on our 630. That was about 15 years ago and it is still holding. I should buy stock in JB weld. I like it for body on the tin as it dosn't crack under vibrations of a working tractor like bondo will.

And a quick check of the JD Parts site shows me that I'm in trouble if I need to replace the vent drain tube or the filler flange; both are no longer available!
Ideas?
