 Topic: B radiator
Posted: 25 Aug 2023 at 7:22am |

Has anyone bought a new radiator for a B lately? Any suggestions on where to get one that will fit correctly. Mine has fallen to pieces and I am in need of a new one. Thanks for any input.

The best B,C, CA radiators that I have experience with are the ones that Shoop sells. They are made in Ireland by the same company that sold them to Allis Chalmers in the UK. They fit perfectly and are of substantial material and workmanship to outlast me. I have brought a couple of the made in China brass ones and they will do the job. The ones to absolutely stay clear of are those aluminum ones, they do not fit well even being well made.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I bought one on ebay in 2015. Made of copper and brass. Reasonably priced and a direct bolt in. Eight years later and it hasn't leaked and keeps my tractor cool. No issues. Make sure you get the rubber pads that go between the frame and radiator where the studs on the bottom attach to your tractor. Hope this helps.

The problem is local shops are drying up! The owners are retiring, or the tough EPA laws are putting them outta' business. In the past 5 years around here, we lost 6 Radiator shops! Not good! Steve@B&B
