Check this thing out. They installed the side covers backwards and used expanded metal to make grille cover.

WTH?  Of all the rig jobs I've seen, well, that's one of them. No thanks. That looks ridiculous.

I'm assuming it was an attempt at fixing a overheating issue. When
i bought my 8050 a couple years ago the air filter was ON the front
weights. Was told it kept getting hot so somebodies great idea was to
cut holes in the grill and move the air filter, with the aspirator unhooked and a bowl to keep rain out of it? Radiator leaked as soon
as i brought it home, had it re-cored by a local shop and i replaced all
the missing foam. 150 hours later and on a 90* day i've got ice cold
air and a cool engine.  ------------- Jimmy 1982 8050 Powershift 1982 6080 1992 R52 Gleaner |
