To add, I have not had the cross reference list work for me yet. Napa 2276 air filter has plastic fins around one end, I guess they could be removed. The lower rad hose number could not be found by my local NAPA and the GATES # is just a flex hose, no good when you want to splice in a hose heater. Half the fun is making something work I guess.

I feel your pain. The 9415 belt was too long, back in the morning to get the next shorter one.

Just broke the fan belt, not a good couple of weeks. I found GATES 9415 as a cross reference so will give that a try when I find one.

We had some -40 weather for a couple weeks and my rad is now leaking at the header. Has anyone successfully used a rad from something else in a 284. There isn't a local dealer in Canada and I'd like to avoid the border process on a large package.

Can't help with the size but mine broke two years ago and I did an emergency fix with a cotter pin. It is still in there, never did make it more permanent and it has worked fine. Now that I have said this it will probably break next time I use it. If I do go more permanent I'll use a bolt. The linkage is sloppy enough that it won't know the difference.
Either option will get you moving until you can fix it right.

Thanks Carl, you were bang on. Both mounting bolts needed tightening, one more so than the other. The leak has stopped.

I just put a ratchet on the mounting bolts, one was quite loose and matched where the oil was dripping from. Sounds like you are right. I topped off the hydraulic fluid with about a quart and a half. Maybe I'm getting off easy and just have a gasket to repair.
