Ford 860 Radiator Leak Suggestions
Keith, Wow, that's impressive! Is it still as easily obtainable, can I get it at the drug store? Thanks for the procedure as well, I'll let you know if I end up giving it a try. -Mike -

Keith, That stuff sounds pretty neat, I had never heard of it before. For anyone else who might be interested, the video covers using it in a radiator around the 4:09 minute mark. -Mike -

Ford 860 Radiator Leak Suggestions
Hi Mark, I had already reinstalled the radiator yesterday morning, before I saw your post. While I completely agree with your suggestion, I don't think I'm ready to spend $300 just yet. Like I said, it was only a couple drops per month. I refilled the rad with antifreeze yesterday evening... -

Keith, That would make sense, which is why I'm not able to find the leak with the radiator off the tractor. Which brand of "stop leak" do you think is least likely to clog the radiator? Thanks. -Mike -

Ford 860 Radiator Leak Suggestions
I spent another hour yesterday looking for the leak. I pressurized the radiator and submerged it in a tub again but still couldn't find the source. I also tried pressurizing it and spraying my kid's bubble solution all over but still didn't see any bubbles. My rad has 3 rows of vertical tubes so... -

Ford 860 Radiator Leak Suggestions
Hi jimtrs, I watched it for months, never while running though. I marked the fins where drops of coolant had collected but I can't get those areas to bubble with soapy water or while submerged. I'm going to try submerging it again tomorrow, in a different tub, and see if I get any results... -

Ford 860 Radiator Leak Suggestions
Hi Tim, I completely drained all coolant and thoroughly rinsed out the radiator before tracking down and repairing the initial leak. My guess is that the other leak might have already been there but was so tiny that I only noticed the larger leak and thought my issue was resolved. But, you're... -

Ford 860 Radiator Leak Suggestions
Hello everyone, Almost 8 months ago, I removed the original radiator on my Ford 860 in an attempt to repair a small leak. I pressurized it with air, used soapy water to find the leak, and successfully soldered a tiny leak at the top of one of the vertical tubes. After reinstalling the radiator... -

Throttle Bellcrank Friction Disc Spring Washer
Hi Larry, Thanks for the reply. The throttle doesn't drift but it didn't drift before and there was no governor compensating spring. That new spring has so much tension on it that I figured I'd feel some difference vs there not being a spring there previously. When opening up the throttle, the... -

Throttle Bellcrank Friction Disc Spring Washer
Mornin', While replacing the battery box on my 860, I noticed the throttle bellcrank friction disc spring washer was partly disintegrated. The governor compensating spring had never been there since I've had the tractor so I decided to replace them both. My question is, how do I know how... -

Bleeding Hydraulic Cylinders for Front-End Loader
Hi, I just rebuilt the hydraulic cylinders for the front-end loader on my Ford 860. These are single-acting cylinders without bleeder screws. When mounted, the cylinders are always angled upward. Once I get the cylinders remounted and the hydraulic lines connected, how do I bleed air out of the... -

Royse, So, the Selec-Trol Valve isn't really meant for something like a front end loader? Because even if I only wanted to use the 3pt hitch, I'd still hafta raise the loader bucket a little so I could actually drive the tractor. The thing is, this is my grandfather's tractor and my dad used... -

Royse, The only thing I don't like about my Selec-Trol Valve is that once I pull the knob out to divert hydraulics to the loader, the knob won't go back in when I'm done. If both the bucket and the 3pt are all the way down, I can push the knob in and out with ease. I think the problem is...
