Combines going to town

I took our pressure washer and installed an elbow right at the nozzle in order to blow straight at the radiator, instead of hitting it at too much of an angle. I was amazed at the amount of dirt that came out of what I thought was a fairly clean unit. We were running in 95-100, and with the good washout, it stayed cool. I ran a flat fan nozzle, and tried to hit the radiator straight on, in order not to bend any fins. I'd give it a try. Irv

i was at my local radiaetior repair shop the other day to get a tractor radiator fixed and he told me he has had a lot of radiators coming in off combines to get cooked out in the acid he had on in there for over a week he couldnt believe that the combine even ran like that it is amazing how much junk builds up in them things dairyfarmer

the rest of the story,last 10 years of blowing, washing have cut 25% cap. due to bent fins.
