In Reply to: soldering a radiator.. posted by mike paulson on November 14, 2010 at 05:57:19:
I poked a hole in one tube in the back of the radiator of my MF35 yesterday. I ran over a pine branch about 1" in diameter while backing up and it somehow poked up in there. I had to remove the radiator and carry it about 3/4 mile through woods and hayfields and over a stream to get it out to the buildings. I used a soldering iron because that was what I had. I pinched the tube shut and cleaned the area carefully, blew it dry with a hair dryer and melted the solder on. My first try leaked a bit when I filled it with water so I soldered again and it was good. I carried the radiator back to the tractor and put it on and it worked fine the rest of the day loading logs and again today with no leaks yet. I think it was just beginner's luck. I used some old lead solder since that was what I had and it was not a potable application. I guess you really do learn something new every day. Zach
