High Performance Radiator?

[Raw Dodge]

So glad you got the radiator! I told you it was worth it!I had the same experience ,you can clog my screen and keep mowing and never go over 190..That's a great price, they must have come down in price,that modification will save your engine. .

How often are you cleaning the Radiator?

Mine has one on it right from Ventrac and it leaked in a year. Had it repaired and it has been good for over two years.... Jim

The last picture has the manufacturer info...the kit for the turbo diesel is different, probably more cooling capacity. ..anyway here's all I have ,if you have any trouble with your dealer finding it , my local dealer ,Round out Valley Engine, in Accord NY is excellent, you can call him and I'm sure he will help you.

I have a 4200 VXD Turbo Diesel. The belt that goes on the alternator, fan, and I believe the cam/drive shaft, broke. I'm told I need to pull the radiator to get to 4 bolts on the cam/drive shaft to get the belt on. I cannot for the life of me find any pictures, videos, diagrams, or tech manuals from Ventrac to show me how to do the work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Pages 11 and 12 of this manual may give some insight. Keep in mind that components like radiators and air intakes and the like on these engines are frequently moved around for different applications, so I can't tell you if this mirrors what you have without seeing some pictures.

Posting this as a new thread this with some pictures would help us keep up with your progress.

I agree with what @MountainBuck posted. When I first saw that a response had been made to a 2+ year old thread about "High Performance Radiators" I didn't pay any attention to it. I might have done so for a new thread about "How to replace the alternator belt on my Ventrac Turbo Diesel engine". If you create a new thread you might get more useful responses.

I read through the Ventrac operator's manual and it seems that the manuals for the earlier versions are much less complete from a service perspective that those for later models. Unfortunately the 3-cylinder turbocharged Vanguard diesel is no longer offered as an option, so we can't suggest looking at a manual from a newer model with the same engine to get some insight.

Thank you. I will create a new thread in a couple of days.
