What's everyone's favorite way/tool to pressure test radiators and such on our old AC tractors? I almost picked up a radiator pressure testing kit from Harbor Freight the other day but it didn't look like any of the cap adaptors would work.

I used one from AutoZone on my D 15. Had to put up a deposit but got it back when I returned the tester. Good luck

An air compressor and a leather or rubber glove. Just be careful not to over pressure it.

I "borrowed" a test kit from O'Reilly. Paid the deposit, (full retail price) and never returned it. Of all the test caps in the kit, the only one I've been able to use is the rubber expansion cap. I've used it so many times over the years I don't miss the "deposit".
