Cliff, I saw your original post this morning as a digest post? Don't know if 
you got the responses so here is Kevins with what I added.

If they are straight radiator hoses you can probably buy them locally at a 
good parts house, such as NAPA.  Most tractor dealers sell the sizes used on 
their equipment (it may be branded with their logo, in case it is of concern 
to you), you'll just have to call around and see who has what in stock. You 
should be able to look at CaseIH website and pull up the parts book for your 
tractor. Hopefully they have the size and length of the hose listed and not 
just IH's part number.

Here is what we posted this morning-----------------------


One other thing I'll add to Kevin's post is that we sometimes saw the hose
in half with a hacksaw if you can tell where the 2 water outlets are and if
you can get the saw in there. Like he said, anything to reduce the stress on
the outlets on the radiator.

Check your hose clamps and replace with some good name brand USA made hose
clamps---the Chinese crap will twist up and strip. When installing the new
hoses we add some hand cleaner (the kind without grit), it makes reassembly
much easier.

Hi Cliff,
drain the antifreeze first. Loosen up the clamps and slide them out of the
way. Use a utilty knife to cut the hose the long way, and take them off.
Sometimes when you try and use pliers or channel locks to loosen up the
hoses, you end up breaking something else loose on the radiator, when they
are very tight. Napa should have the hoses you need. I buy the different
size hoses in 3 foot lengths, and sell them buy the inch. Let me know if you
need any help with what sizes you need,for your tractor. I have a book that
tells me the sizes for the Farmall's. Then you can just go and tell them at
the auto parts what you need. Thanks, Kevin.
