How do you drain the radiator on a jd 4440 tractor?

Step 1: Prepare the tractor

- Park the tractor on a level surface.

- Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.

- Engage the parking brake.

- Remove the radiator cap.

Step 2: Locate the drain cock

- The drain is located at the bottom of the radiator. It is usually a petcock or a 1/2-inch bolt.

- If the radiator is equipped with a petcock, simply turn it counterclockwise to open it.

- If the radiator is equipped with a bolt, you will need to use a wrench to loosen it.

Step 3: Drain the radiator

- Place a container under the drain to catch the coolant.

- Allow the coolant to drain completely. This may take several minutes.

Step 4: Close the drain cock

- Once the radiator is drained, close the drain cock.

- Tighten the bolt, if necessary.

Step 5: Refill the radiator

- Use a funnel to add new coolant to the radiator.

- Fill the radiator to the proper level, which is usually marked on the radiator.

- Replace the radiator cap.

Remember to recycle the old coolant and dispose of it properly according to your local regulations.
