Radiator blew have to walk

[kamikaze82]

Well on the way back from fishing last night my radiator in the truck blew up hopefully just a hose. Luckily I live 2 miles away from the lake so my feet will be my wheels for now. It will only slow me down rather than stop my crappie/catfishin':D I wonder if I would get in trouble if I drove my lawnmower on the backroads I'd wear a helmet if they'd let me.

I need a mule

I hope its just the hose..
Seen a guy here Monday. On the Hwy with his lawnmower. Towing a trailer down the road. LOL
Sounds like a good time for a 10 speed bike.

That sucks man. Good luck though.

if it "blew", it sounds like it is a hose. Check the hoses, first. But, next what you need to do is check the sides of the radiator where it is "seamed" together, and see if there is any wet around the edges. One other thing you miight want to check is the cap. The cap is pressurized, and if that rubber gasket on the bottom of the cap is bad, it can look like it "blew".
You might want to get it fixed. I don't think the bike has the rating to pull your boat off the back fender...lol!

I also live about 2 miles from the lake.On the way home the fan belt broke.I thought no problem,I can make it before it overheats too bad.Lost all locomotion about 6 blocks from the house.Looked under the hood,when the belt broke it whipped around and sliced right thru the send and return line for the tranny cooler.Had a nice mile long red line of fluid for a mile behind me



My craftsman mower wasn't up to the task of pulling my small boat and trailer

Well it was number 2 mrwillis. On the right hand side under the hose was a 4inch crack along the seam. This morning I took it out and going to go pick the new one up this afternoon hopefully get it all back together in time fosumfishin':D

Now all I need is a boat to work on!
