Farmall 240 Radiator Removal - Help Needed..

Working on restoring a Farmall 240 narrow front and have all the sheet metal off along with the fuel tank and other simple stuff. Looking at getting the radiator off and can't find much holding it in the tractor except those two hold down bolts on the bottom of the radiator along with the upper and lower hoses. To remove the nuts front the hold down bolts looks like next to impossible. They are in a narrow cavity of a heavy casting with little room for any type of a normal wrench or socket. The front bolster casting has no access holes to come up from below. There must be a trick as surely the radiator is removable. Anyone with the magic method I would certainly appreciate some assistance in how it is removed. Any and all suggestions are most appreciated, Hal.
 
Your wrench must have be too fat mite need to grind some away. Sometimes we need a little "adjusting" to a wrench for some jobs like a short handle for removing the starter bolts.
 
Gene, thanks for the response. I found a small and thin box wrench and after removing the front sheet metal support on the front of the bolster it opened up a little more room. I worked with it long enough to know I can get to those nuts so it can be removed off the tractor. I will first have to drag it outside to drain the anti-freeze as I don't want it all over the shop floor and there is no way to catch it in a pail. Thanks again for your response and I'm off to find the next issue, Hal..
