Bobcat 463 How to drain radiator?

[cl55953]

I have a 2005 463, I am wanting to drain the radiator. Where is the drain plug? Is there one on the radiator and the engine? I can't seem to find them. Thanks

Pretty sure there is a pepcock on the engine. Thing is a 463 engine sits backwards compared to a normal Bobcat so its probably on the no man's side on the engine by the hydro. Flip the cab and look from that way. If you never flipped the cab, post back for directions.

There is a draincock on the lower middle of the block, see item 22 in the picture below

Like Dan said, it may be on the hidden side of the engine, but check the visible side first.

Thanks for the information, I have lifted the cab before. I will take a look this afternoon.

Per that picture, its on the opposite side of the injection pump. I'm thinking it's on the exposed side then if the picture is showing the front of the engine.

I found the drain-cock, opened it and nothing would come out, I opened it far enough that the t-handle plug come all the way out.. still no drain. The system is full, I don't know what type of antifreeze is in the machine and it is not cold enough for my location. I would like to drain and refill.

Оpen the radiator cap to have where to enter air. May have jammed drain- cock, not a big hole there.If fluid do not run, just take it off or try to clean it with thin steel wire.
