 Topic: Radiator hose
Posted: 02 Jun 2016 at 6:01pm |
|
I'm embarrassed just posting this issue. I had my water pump re-built so I thought it would be a good idea to replace the bottom hose, 1-1/2" hose. I have tried two worm drive type hose clamps turned 180 degress from each other, T bolt clamp with a worm drive clamps and it still leaks. I sanded and filed the stub coming off the bottom of the water pump and tried gasket sealer, and I must of broken 5 worm drive clamps trying to get it tight enough. I'm at my wits end, any ideas I haven't thought of ? I was thinking the radiator hose I'm using is a little stiffer than the one I replaced? Thanks for any ideas. Clinton

BTW- I've researched new hoses on websites that have an I.D. dimension anywhere from 1.485"-1.158. Is that too little difference? Clinton

Just a thought ,its not your rebuilt pump leaking out the seal and running down your hose?

It may get better after a year. Mine did! Guess it has to rust the hose back onto the pump!:)

How tight is the hose without a clamp? Those stiff radiator hoses don't just compress under the clamp they usually wrinkle up leaving a gap if they're much bigger than the pipe outlet. Get an OEM hose for your tractor that fits fairly tight or even stretches a bit without a clamp and line the inside where it seals with water pump and thermostat sealant, it will not leak guaranteed.

if you really think it's the hose, then get a bit smaller hose, pull the tractor up to the house, put the hose in the microwave for a little bit, (this will soften it), run out the door and slide it on and let it cool by itself. it should shrink down tight as it cools, then snug up a hose clamp to it. chances are it'll still be leaking out the water pump!

I ordered a OEM hose, and clamps. I like the microwave idea. The hose should be in next week. I just had the water pump rebuilt, and I can see where the hose is leaking, before I even start the tractor, here's hoping it's not the water pump! Thanks! Clinton

Hot water works to soften...and a little dish soap makes them slide on easier.

If the hose slides over the pipe easy, it might not seal up for some time. Get one that won't quite fit. If you put a cup of cooking oil in the microwave and get it hot, then dip the hose in the oil, it will soften it and act as a lubricant too. I used the wife's temperature probe in the oil to get it hot enough when I had to put new seals on a hydraulic cylinder
