.....To yer Kubota.......

And as usual Kubota has everything captive, so even Mark in my radiator shop couldn't help me. I'm at the mercy of my dealer. It also took out some plastic accoutrement's and the fan and the shroud. I was able to beat everything else straight.

Now I'm just waitin' fer my ship to come in with my parts $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

Put some oatmeal in it. Maybe it will seal up the leak.

How in the heck did you do that?

I've also seen some commercial leakstop for radiators that you may want to try

. That looks like a lot like something I would do

JB Weld man, it'll fix anything!

I tried some stop leak, but when the stick moves it just starts leaking again

I was cuttin' some logs and this sapling was broke off and of course I back over it and it rammed up in there.

6" to the right or left and it wudda hit some skid plates $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

Ouch.

Murphy's law rules the woods. I haven't yet shown the pictures of what happens when you go ice skating in a harvester. The tear stains haven't dried yet.

Hey I think I see your problem.

looks like it's time to add some more skid plates and screens.

You guys are good. Now I see it too..

At first I thought it was a new idea for a de-barker.

stumpy · « **Reply #12 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:47:33 pm »

I see your problem, there's a log sticking through your radiator

I'd say just leave it in there and don't wiggle it.

Corley5 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2008, 05:16:51 pm »

Whoops, Pinch off them cores with a pair of needle pliers, smear a little JB Weld on em and you'll be fine. Probably oughta put some Bars Leak or Silver Solder in the radiator after ya start her up just for good measure

Burlkraft · « **Reply #14 on:** November 20, 2008, 05:30:45 pm »

All is well....I just got done puttin' her back together

There ain't nuthin' that $580.00 and some air freight won't fix

Gary_C · « **Reply #15 on:** November 20, 2008, 05:42:10 pm »

Did you use the same stick or did you have to get a new one?

Ianab · « **Reply #16 on:** November 20, 2008, 05:47:52 pm »

Years ago our neighbour had a similar run in with a stick, but it got jammed into the govenor / injector pump of his diesel SAME tractor.

Busted off the kill switch and jammed it full throttle, no govenor.

Said it sounded like a Formula 1 race car for about 5 seconds, then went BANG

That one was an expensive rebuild but I think his insurance covered it.
