I own a 1962 IH 404. I have changed the radiator hoses out, put a thermostat in (did not have one) and cleaned everything off. I reassembled everything using new SS hose clamps instead of the IH style hose clamps. The hose clamps that IH shows in the parts book are the ones with the single nut that you turn in that pulls the clamp tight and not the typical hardware store type clamps. Anyways, I have tightened the hose clamps up as much as I can and I simplyt cannot get them to stop leaking coolant. I know it sounds crazy! but coolant keeps dripping out albeit very very slowly. Do I need to use the IH style hose clamps? Are they designed to hold much tighter? Can I put gasket sealant compound on the inside of the hoses to stop the leaking? I have replaced rad hoses so many times and have never had a problem like this. What a pain!! any help would be appreciated. Thanks Phil
