1964 Massey 65
Diesel AD.204
UNDM 704769
I finally replaced the radiator on my Massey, though not without it own set of woes.
First I flushed the block using Thermocure Rust Remover. Draining got a lot of pretty clean looking anti freeze. The Thermocure removed a bunch of black looking and rusty looking stuff. I idled it for 2 hours after operating temp then flushed the block a couple times until it ran clear.
The new lower radiator hose from this site was too short by about 1 1/2-2 inches. The hose has to lay dead against the front of the block to prevent the fan belt from sawing into it. The new hose was too short to fit on to the lower radiator nipple. So I reused the old lower hose which was not terrible. The upper hose was, I don't see how it was not leaking before.
After all this flailing around and stopping weeps, I ran the tractor around for about 2 hours. Temperature stayed between 170-175. That's abour 10f cooler than it previously ran at same conditions, so I'm calling this fix successful.
I did find a diesel weep from the no 1 fuel line at the head of the pump, where the fuel line connector banjo bolt is. It's about 1 drop every 10-15 seconds. I have some washers so I'll replace those next week when I go back for visitation and see if that stops it.
