No idea why I didn't see it before, but the rad was caked between the hydraulic rad...hard to see, as most of the crud was hiding behind the support brackets. It was a combination of fine dirt and organic matter. The fan side of rad was spotless, but I suspect wherever the airflow decreases, that is where the crap settles. I read the manual, and not wanting to take a day removing condensor coils CC and hydraulic rad HR to access the engine rad ER, I just loosened the four support bolts that the CC and HR piggyback onto the ER. It allowed me to separate the lot enough to get an air hose in there to blow the crap out...dusty...suggest wearing a mask. Now, after a hard few hours of stump digging, the temps are all 10 degrees cooler than normal...</p></blockquote><p></p>
