@@paulklassen6486 Would make sense to me to build a cooling tank once and do it problem free once. That way it will last for decades. Yes, I understand budgets.
Or not use a vehicle radiator at all. Make one out of 3/4 inch pipe or something instead. Or, if a vehicle radiator is used, keep it on a separate system and use a heat exchange system to keep the dirty and clean water separate.
You could use a stainless steel drum or put a lip around the top of the tank to keep it from expanding. Also a windmill driven water pump as a power free backup would be cool! Maybe a rain catcher top up tank so that the quench tank is always topped up?!
Definitely as it was mentioned you should invest in filter, i doesn't need to be something funky but simple fine mesh filter for rad/pump combo intakeis definitely way to go.
Wow that is most definitely amazing and unique useful tool. Awesome job Timmothy. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. Keep forge lit. God bless.
If you switch out the electric fan to the belt driven fan that matches the radiator and also use the pump from the same machine you can run them all from a small electric motor via belts also it will be much quieter, not cost you anything and will also look better.
Best suggestion.👍 It looks like he's got everything he needs at 3:31 except maybe the backing plate to the pump, I assume it's still on/part of the intake manifold, but some 1/4 plates cut to shape should fix that.
Growing up we used a car radiator on our furnace fan for air conditioning in our house. We ran continuous water through it and watered the garden with the excess. I look forward to seeing how it comes out, nice job.
Hey Tim just thought of a cool idea like your last vid with the car but here's my idea. Im guessing that tractor is made from half good steel if so make making a couple of machetes or pockets knife's out of it or some parts from the tractor and the old car to make a machete or jungle knife that would be cool
Too,bad you couldn’t rig up an electric motor to the water pump/fan assembly. And use the existing engineering. It would have moved far more water and still been ultra quite.
For any heat transfer in fluid you always want to pump the cold fluid in from the bottom. This gives you the most efficient cooling, prevents cavitation in your pump, and you don't have to regulate the flow back into your tank. Awesome video. It's always fascinating to see you build something out of nothing.
I have that same pump, it’ll get cracking hot after an hour or so. For your purposes I would go with a submersible water pump. (Like $50-$60 at northern tool, or most hardware stores) It will stay cooled by the water, and can take a much larger hose.
You may need a filter to protect the pump. I expect you'll be getting scale and metal flakes in the water, and that's going to rapidly destroy the pump. Or possibly switch to a different type of pump that can handle junk in the fluid. Something like either a centripetal pump or a centrifugal pump may be a better choice as they are open all the way through and can better handle particulates in the medium.
Hi Tim good job , I thought about your pump , I’d look for an old dishwasher pump , it’ll be free and usually modern dishwasher dies when something electronic stops working , usually the pump and motor are still working . I do agree with others that a gauze filter or screen is a good idea to stop scale blocking the tubes in your radiator .
The top of the tank is where the lightest and hottest water will be, that must feed into the top of the radiator, that will cool it and it (water) will become heavier and will "sink" towards the bottom of the radiator which you can feed back into the bottom of the quench tank. You can fight against nature, and force the hot water with the pump. But nature and the unchanging laws of physics will have the last word when the pump, exhausted from all its excessive work, dies a premature death from fighting that which can't be defeated forever.
That little pump sounds loud like it is busting its balls trying to pump that water. Is it rated for continuous use and what happens if the water gets up to 100F+?
You should have a screen or filter ahead of the pump so it doesn't get clogged up with scale.
The radiator will also quickly plug from the scale in the water tank. Good idea just needs a bit of refinement.
This, adding some filters will extend the life and let it work longer before having to move to a more robust solution.

You should use the water pump you took off the engine, bolt it onto some plate. Run the pump belt driven off a motor

Interesting project. I expect there will be some future modifications. Always fun to watch you.
Mount it on a cart so you can roll it wherever you need it! ⭐🙂👍

Another pump thought is a boat bilge pump.
I also like the idea of a filter…. Maybe magnets would be enough?
Did that guy have a Habs tat?!? 😲 In Alberta?!?
Go Leafs!
I love these projects! Great work guys!
You should have a filter for the pump and the radiator. Otherwise that things gonna plug off in no time
May want to get an in-line filter so that pump isn't sucking up a bunch of metal/dirt particles
Good man, made it right.
radiator... I was so confused when he said rad. must be a regional thing.
6:51 your hose is freaking me out
I hope the oil doesn't lite on fire + same time hose splits 🎆
it would be awesome if you could run it through a refrigerator.

Sir....I have skill for wood working, wood carving and specially metal welding.... Are you hiring helper?
Why not a 12v solar pump
Probably not enough power. solar isn't very powerful unless you have a lot of panels, and that would get silly for one pump.
It is not a rad like you have been saying. It is a radiator, with a long A.
For any heat transfer in fluid you always want to pump the cold fluid in from the bottom. This gives you the most efficient cooling, prevents cavitation in your pump, and you don't have to regulate the flow back into your tank.

I'd add an inline filter, to keep the rad + pump from clogging.
Those pumps are always that noisy, totally normal,

Fellow Canadian! Hello from Niagara Falls Ontario!
Every time he said "rad" I wanted to punch him.
underrated channel!
Be careful it doesn’t freeze in the winter.
Raidator…
👋🏻
Glad to see a fellow Albertan on RUclips
This video was RAD!
You're a FAN?
I see what you did there, you're "harvesting" parts from a combine? hehe
