Yes, it's old as a daily use tractor (built early 70's by a Japanese firm for MF, who went out of business a few years after starting. Has about 2700 hours on it. They don't make it anymore. Unless it's an over-the-shelf part I can't get one. And I have to clean out the radiator. The block hoses have not been removed since this thing was built. They are pretty much to the point I have to cobble together a replacement if I pull them. But I WOULD like to try and pull them. Knipex won't break them loose. Suggestions? Have to clean out the radiator because it has a slow overheat problem. I have a water pump for it, will probably replace that at the same time.
