Picked up a 44 M a couple weeks ago. It will overheat after only about 10 minutes running time, so I start with checking out the thermostat. Yup, thermostat is all corroded and bent out of shape. Took a look down in the radiator since it was drained and....there is some kinda fiberous material across the top of the tube sheet, looks almost like wet white fiberglass insulation???? Never seen anything like it. It is obviously plugging a bunch of the tubes. OK so radiator has to come out and go to the shop, but tractor has IH wide front and it looks like that has to come off to get to the radiator mounting bolts. Is gonna be a pretty big job, so I'm trying to think of a way to flush this crap out without pulling radiator. Anybody have any sucess in flushing these or similar radiators out in place? I was thinking of hooking up hose to bottom of radiator and backflowing water from bottom to top. Any other suggestions?
