below where the radiator sits there are two bolts that have a springs and castle nuts and secured with a cotter pin. I am unable to remove the cotter pins. I suppose that have been in the tractor for many years. How are thes bolts held in place? I don not want to damage the radator but I to need to remove it.

Mine just had nuts that were rusted on there. I got some Kroil penetrating oil and let them sit for a couple days and they came off pretty easy.

These are probably the biggest pain IH engineers designed.You stand a good chance of tearing these studs off the bottom of the radiator when wrenching on those nuts,especially those with a rusted cotter pin in them.Been there done that.Now I just lean the radiator forward against the springs and block it,then I take a long metal blade in a sawzall.lay it flat on the casting and saw the bolts off. That will leave a short stud you can weld a bolt to.I found it's a lot easier this way than trying to resolder the tab plates back on the radiator

If you can turn the nut back and forth a little bit and some times that will brake the cotter pin loose enough to pull out. Also some times you can brake the cotter pin by doing that and then your home free to remove the bolts. BTDT on a few cotter pins that would not come out

What Daniel meant was: the studs are threaded into a nut that is soldered into the bottom of the radiator. You MAY be able to just unscrew the whole stud & spring assembly. Work the wrench back & forth gently; you may get lucky and the stud will unscrew.
Heat from a torch will help; the spring will need replacing later.

Hey there they are actually studs that are soldered into the bottom of the radiator with the castle nuts with the springs pull tension on the radiator. Best thing to get the nuts off are some PB blaster and a wrench. If the cotter pins are rusted off then take a small punch and hit them to drive them out.
