    Oliver HG Cletrac 1952

    I am northern states ( Michigan ) cold environment. I could use some distilled water for flushing radiator and engine compartments first ( see if lots of flow and evaluate color coming out bottom, then fill again with new 50/50 antifreeze. Then run engine for a while see what happens.. Is...

    I feel good about the radiator and if not having obstructions I originally thought it had a thermostat in the upper hose area but now realize, not one there . I have a manual coming ( couple days ). Why distilled water and not Antifreeze solution? I am still a little concerned about...

    Somewhat,, No moving parts , no thermostat Movement of radiator fluid up through motor cavities as the fluid warms up ( hotter it is the faster it rises ) then down through cooling radiator coils - back into lower motor chamber.. Temp gauge monitors lower system fluid A newer gauge is...

    Scootergmc Pitcock at lower hose entry to motor. I do feel fairly confident that the radiator is in good shape. It looks good and fluid coming out was decent. The tractor has mostly been rebuilt by an individual that seemed to do a good job ..( he has since past away .) I know some basic...

    Used Red MN The system is making more sense to me.. Thank you If I do put a pressure gauge on the radiator system ( plug over flow) .. if operating correctly it should not have much pressure ( other than expansion) correct? And after expansion pressure ( not a building pressure)

    Humm Okay Was told that the tractor was a 52 when I bought it.. It makes sense now that it is older than a 52. Can you help me understand the possible pressure in the radiator? I could get a gauge and actually check if pressure even exists..? Thanks

    Oliver HG Cletrac 1952

    Okay Interesting Is there a possibility of blockage in the water movement ( say the thermosiphon ( devise ) or if a thermostat has been added and stuck shut ? The engine starts and runs smoothly But lower radiator hose doesn t warm up very much and temp gauge doesn t go up either. Also...

    Rookie here at restoration Question I don t believe my Cletrac has a water pump or thermostat.. Not sure if radiator should be spitting fluids out of the overflow And after running a bit the bottom radiator hose seems too cool to the touch Please any thoughts Tomas
