It covers draining the awkward-to-reach radiator plug, deciding to flush after seeing muddy coolant, running the engine under PTO load to test temps, double-flushing, and refilling with a 50/50 antifreeze mix plus a coolant additive. Useful for owners chasing an overheating issue tied to coolant condition, not just the radiator screen.
Posted by the Life With Chase channel, an owner working through the repair themselves on their own tractor.
Drain the plug, refill with flush and water, run the engine 30 to 45 minutes to warm it, then drain and repeat with clean water until flush is fully out.
A 50/50 mix of 10-year extended life antifreeze and water, measured in a separate jug, using about one gallon of antifreeze plus one bottle of hyper cool super cool additive.
The coolant looked never changed and muddy, and the radiator screens were clogged with grass clippings, both contributing to the overheating problem.
