In Reply to: Radiator flush? posted by Tuckermac on June 28, 2012 at 04:17:13:
Zach is right, I got a ton of help and you should be able to find it in the archives....There were two options, the first is you can buy a radiator flush from napa and flush the system. The other option (and what I did) was I drained all the fluid from the radiator and block as best as I could, I then filled the radiator with straight white vinegar (about 6 gallons for my M, not sure if its the same for an H). I started the tractor and got it up to temperature and then let it sit in the radiator/block for a day or so....it worked great, the fluid that came out was a muddy, rusty, color and it fixed my getting hot issue (you have to flush the system many times to get all the vinegar out though, i pulled the water jacket and put the garden hose right to it and got even more sludge out of the block/radiator)...what it also did was remove the rust from a couple blow outs in my head gasket...needless to say I had vinegar in the cylindars and oil...I removed the the head and found the blown head gasket, so if you use vinegar be ready to deal with possible issues with blockages/holes being opened up.
I would recommend you read the responses to my posts, tons of great info in there, the guys here really helped.
