What is this radiator for? Farm hand took the pipes off as 1 was leaking and he cant remember what way they go back on 2 the engine.. its a tm165

Air con rad?
Oil cooler?

 

[J1234]

Ive looked up oil cooler etc i cant find any diagrams on what way the pipes go on..

If the pipes are oily, it's the back end cooler. If they're dry it was the aircon. Probably the former. Given the state of the rad, I doubt it'll make a lot of difference which way the oil flows through it.

 

[J1234]

But would there not be a inlet and a return from engine?

Undo one, poke it into a bucket and momentarily stat the tractor. Can’t be big pressure in it considering the jubilee clips.

Aren't the pipes different sizes?

Look up the part number on the hose

Use the white label distance from the end of the pipe as a guide, and the see your own photo, assuming they are different length pipes to get back on the engine.

It’s only an oil cooler loop, fit them the way they lay/look tidiest
