If anyone has tried this with good or bad results, your input would be appreciated.

Thanks
When I purchased my 782d; The po had installed an electric fan, removed the fan shroud, and removed the thermostat.
It accomplished nothing.
I finally found all the parts for the fan, fan jackshaft, and fan shroud.
Put in a new thermostat. Then removed the radiator and had it cleaned.
It runs well now and no overheating.
Just my thoughts on this. Radiators do collect silt and need to be cleaned
