Still putting the 210 back together and got to the radiator today and it dawned on me that I need some foam insulation to go around it and don't what exactly it's called or find any online.
Won't it run hot without that insulation around it,it looks like it had adhesive foam or something like that on it before.

i've used regular door sealant foam strips on my tractors before, doesn't seem to last as long as factory foam, but it worked. get the dense foam. yes...they will overheat without it when pulling in field, not so much just running on the place. i bought a cab kit on an auction, doesn't fit any of my cabs but cut in in strips and spray glued the strips to the sides of the radiator...worked great!

I've got an old patio cushion that is not foam but some white colored material .I'ts soft and squishy and water doesn't phase it. Chopped to size and stuffed in place. won't disentigrate like foam. Used on an 8070 but jest is the same.

You can use 'closed cell' self adhesive door weather stripping. Some places have 1/2" thick stuff(maybe Homerdespot ??). If not thick enough to fill the gap, put one on top of the other.

BTW 'closed cell' means WATERPROOF, will NOT trap/hold water....
