Radiator Plug-Up Problems On IH Tractor Solved

Radiator Plug-Up Problems On IH Tractor Solved TRACTORS Modifications 26-2-36 I have a Honey Bee header attached to my International Harvester tractor. The problem is that the tractor's radiator air intake is located right where the swath is cut at the platform. Dust would plug up the radiator after only a couple of hours in the field. To solve the problem I used the air intake off an old Massey combine, cutting it at an angle to fit. Then I mounted a furnace air filter behind the radiator. This setup keeps fine dust out of the radiator. I clean the filter out about once a year. To dry grain in bins in locations where electricity isn't available, I place 8-in. dia. piece of perforated drain tile in the bottom of the bin. The tile is placed in a coil, with one end attached to the air intake of a grain vac. It pulls air down evenly through the grain to dry in. I've used it to dry grain with moisture content up to 18 percent. (Ben Kambeitz, Box 23027, Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada T1B 4C7 ph 403 528-1499)
