Can,t keep the f ing combine cool, tried everything, must be the rad core shagged.
Have you changed the air and fuel filters? Can make a serious difference.We have had a run of unsolvable overheating problems. Tractor - must be the fan belts. Changed, no difference. Must be the stat. Changed - no difference. Must be the radiator cores bunging up. Probably isn't but I will only find out after I have spent thick end of £600. Its very annoying. All I can do is drop a gear and keep going. There isn't time for a forensic examination of the system.
Back in the day you just cleaned them off with an airline and off you went. Now that doesnt seem to work any more. Maybe its becasue all my kit is very old and completely shagged.

People that won't stop speaking while I'm trying to watch tv box.
This happened to my combine a few years ago, the oil cooler let oil into the water system, we did flush it through when the repair was done but by the sounds of it the damage may have been done. Problem is the rad is a bitch to get out, any tips on adding any thing into the system to keep the old girl running.Easy to tell if a rad core is blocked, or scaled. Just put your hand on the core when the engine is hot. cold spots are trouble! Cores can loose cooling capacity if oil has entered the cooling system at any time, this can form an insulating scale.

Thanks i will try that, been working on the combine this morning, changed the fan belt that looked liked it may of been slipping, this would of made her run warm as well. Will let you know how it goes later.Fill up with water and detergent, run for a bit to warm up and circulate, flush? I think somebody once recommended washing machine detergent. @Ley253 would know.
I haven't got my full qualifications in this art yet as I was watching a film the other night and said yes to a question, next day I'm frogmarched up the local DIY shop and I'm retailing the bathroom [emoji24]After a few years you develop the split brain that can appear to be listening to the speaker and give convincing responses while actually concentrating fully on the program. Its something I learned shortly after getting married.
That will learn you to pay a bit more attention, you will develop a physic ability to detect questions that involve spending money while watching TV etc. and the ability to answer them correctly without being clocked by the frying pan or getting the cold shoulder. It takes a lot of practice though.I haven't got my full qualifications in this art yet as I was watching a film the other night and said yes to a question, next day I'm frogmarched up the local DIY shop and I'm retailing the bathroom [emoji24]
In my defence I've only been married a couple of years (and that was a conversation during a James bond film), so I'm a pup at this game and I bow to you married ninjas knowledge.That will learn you to pay a bit more attention, you will develop a physic ability to detect questions that involve spending money while watching TV etc. and the ability to answer them correctly without being clocked by the frying pan or getting the cold shoulder.
