The Masseys also have the screen. I like it because it catches most of the junk that could clog up the radiator fins.

You didn't mention what NH model, but on the Class III Boomers, the grill openings are as small as a screen and the "gunk' builds up on them instead of getting inside because all the holes are sealed with rubber or foam. When the grill gets dirty, you just stop, wipe off the crud, and continue. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My TC30 has the sliding screen as did my 1210 I had before. I don't think of it as a feature. More as a necessity. I've found alot of debris on the filter which would have been in the radiator fins.

The screen was done away with on the newer Boomers because the radiator was redesigned with wider radiator fins to allow for the debris to go thru them easier and to aid in cleaning. Personally I think it was one of those two dollar savings ideas that when multiplied by thousands of tractors adds up to a lot of dollars.

This does bring up a good point . When you wash your tractor off after use try to get in the habit of also washing your radiator out from the engine side if possible . It helps to dislodge any build up of dust and crud that might be forced against the fins by the suction of the radiator fan . If you live in a area where heavy road salt is used on the road way in the winter, washing the radiator will prolong the life of the radiator considerably.

My TC29D has a slide up screen. And I do have to watch it because grass clippings get up there pretty fast and I will overheat if not careful. So as a standard, before I mow I pull the screen, tap it on the tire and slide back in.

The big question, will the radiator fins stand up to the water pressure needed to wash out the junk that gets between the fins, hope they made them out of thicker material.
