About 10 minutes into my evening seat time of pushing excavated dirt into stump holes, I heard an awful cracking/grinding noise. I shut the engine off as fast as I could, but it was too late. Apparently a root from the elm stump had gotten stuck in between the bars of the front tire, and when I went in reverse, it came back out of the bars, straight up and through the radiator. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif It looked like a river of Mountain Dew. It also looks like the exhaust pipe might be bent a little.
Questions:
1. Can I get my tractor loaded? It seems like I could get the trailer closeby so I could get it on before it overheats, but with no coolant (and no way to keep any in), will this damage/destroy the coolant pump?
2. What is this going to cost, assuming that it will be a radiator and fan replacement?
