        I installed a new lower radiator hose (Y385-04-01) on my 2425. The fit is very poor and it looks like the original hose didn't fit very well either. It would maybe fit better if the nipple on the radiator was angled outward more, but it's not.

        I have found reference for using a Gates 25480 Flex or a NAPA NBH7271 formed hose. I'm sure a Gates Flex would fulfill the functional purpose. But, to make the 90* turn from the engine, I'm concerned it would extend out from the tractor further than I would like.

        Does anyone have experience with the Gates or NAPA hose applications or other suggestions for a good fit?

          I brought the old one to an auto parts store and picked the closest one they had.  I have no idea what the PN is but I know they seem to have a whole ceiling to pick from.laugh
