Description
When you’ve got a small hole or leak developing in your radiator, you don’t always need to replace the whole thing. Sometimes a simple rivet plug can seal things up and get you back to work without the downtime and expense of a complete radiator job. This handy little plug is designed to stop minor radiator leaks before they turn into major cooling problems that leave you stranded during busy seasons.
What You’re Getting
- Secure rivet-style design that seals permanently once installed – no backing out under pressure
- Built to handle the heat cycling and vibration that comes with tractor work
- Quick fix for small holes that lets you finish the season before major repairs
- Direct replacement for John Deere part L168497
Built for Real Farm Work
This plug fits John Deere 6J, 6030, and 7030 series tractors – the kind of mid-range utility machines that handle everything from loader work to heavy fieldwork. When you’re pulling planters in spring or running hay equipment in summer heat, the last thing you need is cooling problems bringing work to a halt.
Made to Last
Farm radiators take a beating from debris, temperature swings, and constant vibration. This rivet plug is built to seal tight and stay put through all the abuse your cooling system endures. It’s a permanent fix that handles the pressure and heat of hard-working engines.
Installation Notes
Clean the hole thoroughly and make sure it’s the right size for a snug fit. Once the rivet plug is in place, it’s there to stay – that’s the whole idea. Check your coolant level after installation and keep an eye on things during the first few heat cycles to make sure everything’s sealed up tight.
