I admit I just took a quick look but I did not see a drain petcock on the radiator of the 4510. Where might it be or do you just loosen the lower radiator hose? My Yanmar has a block water jacket drain.
Ideas/suggestions. Thanks

Check 6 inches behind the oil filter. There should be a wiite plug. I think it will drain the block to. How do you like your 4510?

I had a few reservations at first as I was used to an open or non-cab tractor. I like it now as it has more horsepower than my Yanmar 336d.
The thing I dislike is the cooling system. It gets debris on the radiator, the screen looks difficult to remove, the battery and air filter block a great deal of airflow into the radiator etc. That system could have been better designed IMHO.

I had my screen out a while back. A few bolts and it kind of slid sideways a little as I remember. I seldom use the bushog so mine dosen't get plugged bad. I've had good luck with it till recently. I went to road it a couple of miles and it started to blow gray smoke and miss bad. It doesn't do this till you get it up to pto speed and put a load on it which I don't do very often. Mine has 700 hours on it. Guess I'll have to haul it the hundred miles to the dealer while its under warranty. I've really liked it though. I mostly us it for the loader.
