Agricat crawler model-F
- Thread starter jdcrawler

Go to any air conditioning supply house and ask for a gallon Kleen Brite Coil Cleaner in the PINK bottle or the Zep brand. Mix it as described, USE GOOD RUBBER gloves and you will be amazed with the results. Wet the aluminum down first with water, work an area with the coil cleaner by spraying it on, let it FOAM UP and then wash it off with a water hose.
Let it really foam up like this example.
BUT, do NOT use EZ-Off oven cleaner.
The difference would be like this example,
This fan draws air up thru the cooler so I have made an air duct to fit under the cooler.
This duct is made out of aluminum and is also a heat shield to block the heat off the top of the engine.
The front of the duct extends out closer to the grille shell to draw in cooler air from in front of the engine.
The air duct also extends out a little ways past the back end of of the cooler.
There is about 1-1/4 inch air space under the cooler.
this is plenty of air space with the volume of air that the fan draws.
As you can see, it is open all the way thru so the air can be drawn from both the front and from the rear of the duct.
I do not know the exact year of this crawler but the Agricat crawlers were built in the 1950s and 1960's.
Because the hydraulic cooler is something that would most likely not have been on a little crawler back then, I have wanted to keep it so it doesn't show with the hood down.
