Title: HG Radiator
Post by: Paul Bianchi on March 07, 2010, 01:13:58 AM
Does anyone know if any other machines used the same radiator (McCord D49) as an HG or OC-3?  My radiator is in very tough shape.  The side panels on my radiator are rusted out and one side cracked and let loose.  It also has leaks on both sides just under the tank.  When I took it into my local radiator shop he did a pressure test and confirmed the leaks.  He also looked inside with a light and gave it a 50/50 shot of being able to be repaired.  

In search of a replacement radiator in Northern Michigan.

If you want to make a "show" tractor, there are places that make custom radiators for street rods. ($$$$) I just wanted to use mine, so I found a Honda radiator that would fit in the hole and fabricated some mounts. The inlet and outlet didn't line up, so I put it in backwards and used some LONG corrugated hoses over the top and under the bottom.

If the tanks are good there is a lot that can be done to save the radiator. They can have completely new cores installed. The frame on mine was pretty much toast too so I built a new frame for it.
