Guys i was wondering if you can take off the nipple that ran to the trans cooler that used to be mounted on the pass side of the motor? It is located on the block where the coolant return goes to from the heater core tubing. There used to be a trans cooler cylindrical deal hooked up to it that i trashed. the nipple im talking about is the one that runs horizontal not vertical and only came on automatics. Does anyone know what size this nipple is and if you can remove it? thanks guys

Relax, a little more patience wouldn't hurt.

That fitting is for 5/8 water hose and should be either 3/8 or 1/2 tapered pipe thread, not completely sure which because I've never had to remove that one.

no no im not trying to be impatient its just usually its lickety splitt on these things. i just wanted to make sure you guys weren't sleeping. jk jk So it is removeable then?

On another thought like the name my grandpa has always told me about the 2 cylinder john deeres. Are the pistons as big as a 5 gallon bucket?? thanks

but then again it is kinda an emergency because there is coolant leaking all over the place so impatience might contribute a little bit. however thanks for your replies

Best way to tell is get a good light and look down in there to see if you see threads. I'll check and make sure on the engine on the stand at home.
