I just picked up my radiator from the repair shop, and plan on remounting this weekend. 1)what is the fluid capacity 2)and hints regarding re-mounting 3) I've been told to spray the hoses with silicon to preserve them, really?

NAA radiator's capacity is 15 qts. I always use a 50 - 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. And as long as the fluid looks clean, I don't change it twice yearly as the owners manual suggests. Can't remember the last time I did change it, but I'm sure it was over 5 years ago. It still checks good to - 32 F.

A couple of tips on remounting is first make sure you sit your radiator on the two rubber bumpers (part number: 2N 8125). It prolongs the life of the radiator and makes it sit up about 1/8 - 1/4 inch higher. I've heard a lot of people complain that they have a hard time putting their radiator cap on the new radiators and its because they left off the rubber pads. Also be sure to use the rubber bumpers (part number:8N 8033-A) that sit on top of the radiator that prevents the hood from rubbing a hole in the radiator. You will need 4 of these as 2 are also used to sit on the grill to prevent it rubbing the hood. You should also install the Radiator Filler Neck Pad (2N 8032).

If memory serves, 8Ns take about 2+ gallons if completely empty. Do yourself a favor and use only distilled water with, of course, 50% anti-freeze. As for the silicon: makes the hoses look better, and, if the right product, might provide some UV protection. For Ns, aside from show machines, irrelevant.

Fill it up, run it, then fill the balance. As others say, don't over fill it, but it will have to purge out the air as the tractor warms up. Be careful when you do this that you don't get burned. I did have to fill it a second time when I drained out everything. Both times it took over a gallon.

NAA or N? For the N, it's 3 gallons, but 2.5 gallons covers the core & that's all it needs. Don't know about the NAA.
