Tractor Radiator Leak Repair 

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! :)

I figured that was the case but I didn't want to break anything. :)

Thank you for watching! :)

Actually, I know it will work. A couple months ago, I found another leak in the bottom section, below the fins. I couldn't get it hot enough to solder so I tried JB Weld and it has held up fine so far.

I bet it's just the power cord. If you have a multimeter, you can test the continuity of each wire in the power cord. If the cord is bad, it's easy to replace. Also, if it currently only has a 2-prong power cord, you can upgrade it to a safer 3-prong grounded cord. Check out this video where I upgraded my drill press power cord: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dL3Pj5YfevY.html . The video also covers testing the cord with a multimeter. Let me know how it goes!

@@Mikeattempts Thanks Man! It was the cord but not in the way you think. So this is an 11” Rockwell Delta Table Top Drill. But the power switch is not on the motor or drill. It is at the bottom base of the unit. There is a secondary cord that runs from the motor to the switch at the base. However, this cord is not hardwired. It plugs into the back of the switch. It’s a strange looking plug as well. The main power cord also runs off the motor to be plugged into an outlet. But the Secondary cord has come unplugged from the switch which is why it was not turning on. Strange design. Have your seen anything like this? Thanks!

@@Viva0331 Glad you got it fixed! I don't think I've seen one wired like that. Thanks for the update!

I donno if that's a good thing or a bad thing. :)

Yeah, I thought about that afterwards. It was just a light dusting of paint on the outside edges of the fins. The tractor temp gauge still reads at the same pre-repair range.
