Radiator Problem with Miss B.
by Cub-Bud » Tue Apr 12, 2005 2:07 pm
I purchased a radiator from a Farmall A several months ago to put on my '45 B Farmall. They look exactly the same but, when I go to mount it, the upper water pipe does not line up with the outlet on the top of the radiator. Do these radiators not interchange

How far off are they? Could it be that you got a radiator off a Super A with a water pump or something like that?

Take it to your locla radiator shop, they can move it wherever you need it.

A and B radiators are identical. That said, they aren't all identical. The early tractors had hoods held on with 1/4 turn fasteners. Later ones were held with a spring loaded clamp handle at each corner. These 2 styles used different radiators. The Super A used the same radiator as the late A and B. Excpet maybe a late Super A with a water pump.
Is the misalignment just some forward/backward misalignment? Is it too far back or forward relative to the water outlet? Check the radiator brace that bolts at the water outlet. It might be bent or from a different radiator.

The radiator brace is from my tractor. I still have the radiator that came off Miss B. The brace works fine when I mount it to Miss B's radiator and put it on the tractor. When I move the brace to the A radiator, it pushes the top out of aligment. With that said, I took Miss B's radiator to the shop today to see if it is usuable. If so, this A radiator is going on Ebay.

I went to the radiator shop this morning and got some good news. Miss B's radiator is in good enough shape to use. 
Dad sprayed a light coat of black paint on it after cleaning it up and I'll put it on the tractor tonight after work.

Thats good news. Its always nice when you can reuse the original stuff, especially a radiator. They can be a bit pricey.
