I would take the radiator off if I were you, it doesn't take long and not a big deal. You can turn it upside down and let the water flow both ways.
For the adapter, I would go to the hardware or plumbing store and get a pvc cap for pvc pipe, then I would plumb a nipple in that for the water hose to fit. Make sure the pvc cap will fit inside the radiator hose so you can clamp it.

There is a NAPA store and an ACE Hardware in Hawthorne, 13 miles south of here. The nearest big box store is 60 miles north in Fallon, NV.
