Radiator hose

Today my radiator hose sprung a leak. I bought a new hose and hoping someone has a trick on putting it on without having to take off the metal connection. I have attached a picture below showing how small of a gap is between the two pieces. Thanks.

Sorry, but removing the water inlet is about the only way!

It looks like your engine would benefit from having it removed anyway...you can grind the rust down so that you'll get a good seal on the new hose on both stubs, and it's a perfect opportunity to flush the engine.

  • Block and Radiator Lower Casting Flushing Tool

    Purpose:

    This tool is used to flush crud from the lower radiator housing and from around and behind cylinders in engine blocks. I'm sure there is more than one way to make this device. This is more of an idea or concept. I made this device from on hand items. No out of pocket expense.

    Method:


    This tool is constructed from 1/4" copper tubing, a brass female garden hose connector, scrap electrical wire...

The manual has a section on how to do that using Washing Soda. I'm sure your tractor would be very happy if you did that for it!!

P.S. It's a very easy gasket to make yourself!

I saw a video on youtube about using a zip tie to install a hose similar to that on a caterpillar engine. Can’t find it now.
Found it. Don’t know if it will work on a cub, but worth a try.
