Radiator blew on Case Super N backhoe

Miggy ยท 2016-12-07 11:01

Owed several case backhoes and never had any issues with radiator with much more hours. Recently my 2012 machine with 3800 hrs blew. Not covered under warranty. Just wondering if anyone has had similiar problems?

    ive replaced a few on N models and one on Super N where the tanks crack - possibly from vibration, or imporper coolant mixture- but wasn't given allotted time for good diagnosis

    When you get it running again you might use a radiator pressure tester on it. Don't pump it up just screw it on let run and watch the gauge to see if It's building pressure. Truck Shop
