Read articles →This is part 8 of a full teardown-and-rebuild series on an LS XR3135, not a quick look or dealer walkaround. This installment focuses narrowly on reassembling the front end: mounting the battery box, radiator support, cleaning and refitting the radiator, installing the fan shroud with specific bolt sizes and torque values (25 ft-lbs), the overflow tank, debris pre-screen repair, and a front cooler. Best for owners doing their own rebuild who want granular, step-by-step reassembly detail.
Posted by the Ben's Machines channel, an owner-operator documenting their own multi-part hands-on tractor rebuild.
The bolts holding the fan on are torqued to 25 foot-pounds.
The radiator uses two 14 mm mounting nuts underneath and ten mm bolts, three per side and two at the bottom, with anti-seize applied.
It catches large debris like grass, straw, or hay so it does not get caught in the radiator fins.
Sandpaper was used to remove residual blue silicone from the tanks, likely used originally to seal the hoses onto the tank.
