He covers unbolting the air cleaner duct, expansion tank, hose clamps and mounting bolts, swapping the radiator, and refilling with Coolguard coolant, noting the part cost $479 and the job took 40-45 minutes. Best for 2520 owners facing this exact repair.
Posted by an owner-operator at Indy Farm Life sharing a hands-on repair he'd already started before filming, so some early steps are described rather than shown.
The part number is LVU803043, though that number is not actually printed on the radiator assembly itself, which made identifying it confusing.
The owner says the replacement took about forty to forty-five minutes once he knew the steps, and he was pleased with how quick it went.
The 2520 uses Coolguard coolant, about 1.2 gallons, filled through the radiator cap and topped off in the expansion tank between the fill lines.
The replacement radiator was priced at $479, which the owner felt was pricey since it is a genuine John Deere part.
