Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

replaced the foam on the radiator of my mower. it overheated (not really, it triggered a high temp switch that shut the pto deck off) and i learned that the radiator probably had grass in it. i was blowing it out every mow and noticed the scraps of old foam.

john deere sold replacement foams for I-am-not-kidding $643. i ordered some adhesive foam for $18 on amazon. works great!

you can see the grass pulled against the mesh by the vacuum of the radiator fan, previously it was sneaking around the edges of the foam directly to the radiator.
