So I've finally caught up on other stuff to get moving changing the coolant on my Bolens 152/tx2140. The drain on the radiator is pretty snug and I don't want to tear up the radiator horsing on it. I put some penetrating oil on it to let it work, but am looking at pulling the lower radiator hose to drain/flush the coolant. If I pull it off the water pump, I'm pretty sure it will really go everywhere.

It looks like I'll have to pull all the painted tin off to get to the radiator end. Is that actually the case ?

The good news is that the oil worked, I got the drain loose. Hopefully it works out ok flushing/changing it this weekend.
