I want to remove the engine cover (hood, bonnet, whatever you want to call it). I am on my own for the moment, am I likely to manage it myself or should I wait until I can find a helper? I was going to remove the front lovered grille panel first, as it looks heavy...
i am removing it as I am intending to change all the coolant hoses. Talking of cooling the radiator fan has what looks like a home made (albeit nicely made) fan shroud extension, riveted on in what looks like aluminium formed sheet, fully enveloping the fan. Is this a common mod?
I am wanting it to run a PTO generator as here in the UK winter power outages are said to be very likely, so I want the cooling system to in be tip top shape.
Has anyone rigged up a low / none existent engine oil pressure kill mechanism, and the same for water over temperature? Engine is the Perkins three pot diesel? Any bright ideas how to do this most welcome. Thanks.
