How do you flush the radiator and coolant system on a cat 246c skid steer?

    Do you mean drain the coolant.? See attached. It's covered in the Operation & Maintenance Manual. If you don't have one it would probably be a good investment. Cost is about US$50 to download a pdf copy.

    Unless there's been an oil cooler failure or other contamination issue there's not really a need to flush the system. In trade school and certainly in the light vehicle industry back-flushing the system with a garden hose is more common, which done properly involves removing the thermostat and water pump. Maybe tell us more about the problem.
