In my opinion, taking the radiator off is probably the most miserable job there is on an H. You have to remove the support rod that goes across the top of the tappet cover, remove all the hoses, disconnect the knuckle on the steering shaft, screw the shaft out of the front bolster after removing the cap in the front and then take off the splash plate under the front bolster. (If the splash plate is missing, you will have a lot of dirt to remove to get to the bolts.) Then the fun begins. There are two stud bolts under the bottom of the radiator that bolt the radiator to it. They have fine threaded nuts on the bottom. There are plates soldered to the bottom of the radiator for the course threaded end of the studs. There are springs on the studs between the nut and the bottom of the bolster. There is a cotter pin holding the nuts on, too. After you fight the cotter pin out you will need an open end wrench and it will have to be taken out and turned over once for each 1/2 turn of the nut. (A crows foot wrench works the best.) Be generous with your favorite rust-buster, the studs are usually badly rusted. When you put it back on, be careful not to twist the plates soldered to the bottom of the as the will leak after you get it back on and everything lined up. (Don"t even ask how I know that this will happen. The good news is the nuts do come off a lot easier the second time.) Good luck and plan on spending at least a day on the removal part of the project, half of that time will be waiting for the rust buster to work and getting the kinks out, you have to be in a very difficult position to see whats going on up there.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
