No it's not a doughnut maker!


This is a tow behind paver unit that is being redesigned with a newer power plant for better fuel economy and cleaner exhaust. This is a 3rd generation engine that meets the newer EPA guidelines for clean burning diesel motors. Our friends at RDO equipment the local John Deer dealer here in Poway are doing the refit.

We are their vender for radiator and cooling system work. I got a call from Bill our contact at RDO and he asked me to come and look at the refit he was doing and give him ideas on what to do about the radiator and how it fit in the unit. The old motor inlet and outlet water fittings are placed different so we need to do some creative engineering to make the radiator he has fit the new motor.

It looks like we can move the lower radiator hose connection from facing out to straight down, next we plan to modify the water inlet fitting so a felx hose can be used to connect the radiator to the motor. There may be some size changing on the connections to do and aluminum welding on the water housing but this will be cost affective for his client and will do a good job cooling down the new motor. Looks like the upper fitting will be an easyer fix as we have to change the size of the connection on the radiator and find a hose that will link to the water outlet fitting on the engine.

RDO equipment has done many of these refit jobs and we help them out when ever they call. These guys are pro's at heavy equipment repair.
For questions or answers please feel free to give us a call.
