 Topic: D14 Fan and Radiator issues
Posted: 08 Mar 2017 at 8:59pm |
Anyone have problems getting a new radiator to fit in a D14? I have a brand new radiator I'm trying to put in a D14 but the fan don't seen to clear the radiator. I had the stock fan on first. Now I grabbed a C fan and it still barely hits still. Are these new radiator crap?

Yea, I'd rather cut the fan then start cutting into the radiator supports. I had a thought to just out an electric fan on instead. Anyone ever do that?

New radiator may be a fits all, works on none. Also check the fan, itself, there is an adjustment on the belt, that shifts the fan to and fro, IIRR...

I was wondering about the fan being adjustable. When I got a new radiator for my d17 it didn't fit at first glance and I had to run that day so I didn't see how the mechanic I had helping me got it to fit while I was making a parts run. But then I looked at it later nothing looked cut.

I put a new radiator in the 45 and had the same problem. I trimmed the radiator instead of the fan. No problems with it.

Only thing that shifts is 1/2 of pulley ,NOT THE FAN. Not very often I install aftermarket radi. that dose not require a adjustment to install.

OK, I'd be trimming the fan shroud.
reasons
1) only two shroud sides to trim, fan has 4 blades, so 1/2 the work
2) trimming fan blades needs to be precise( balance)
3) should has pop rivets to the 'correct cops' will know anyway
D-13#3 has a modified shroud as does the forklift..
I suppose it's really a coin toss ,maybe do what's easier and needs less bandaids ?

Urge anyone seeking a radiator replacement on the smaller A-C's contact Tony w/ Tony's Tractors on this site.
Tony went through plenty clarifying which/what/how on fittings from different supply sources over the years and can typically get what you need with less headaches.
