Combines Urgent Radiator plugging on 1480

Check for leaks around the door and rotary screen. How is the brush seal around the rotory screenIJ My rad was getting plugged faster than I liked so I replaced that brush seal. I haven't had the combine in the field yet though.

I have found on alot of the 14 series combines that the bottom clean out door in front of the radiator is either open or the seal is gone. The easiest way to find leaks is to take a lantern at night and put it inside the air box and look from underneath and down both sides of the radiator shroud. If any light shows that means dust and dirt can be drawn in plugging the radiator. I use silicone to plug small holes and replace seals where needed. There is one other problem I have run into and that if the radiator has been recored the openings may be to small and plugging
