Description
When you’re running hay equipment in August heat or pushing through heavy cultivating, keeping that engine cool makes the difference between finishing the field and calling it quits early. This radiator assembly does the heavy lifting for your Ford tractor’s cooling system, handling both engine coolant and hydraulic oil cooling in one reliable unit. Many of these tractors have worked for 40-50 years, and a quality radiator ensures they’ll continue for decades more. The 4-row design provides extra cooling capacity compared to standard 3-row radiators, offering insurance against overheating during heavy work or hot weather.
What You’re Getting
- Complete radiator assembly with integrated oil cooler mounted on the engine side for dual cooling duty
- Generous 23-5/8″ height and 18-15/16″ width core provides serious cooling capacity for demanding field work
- Built to handle the constant temperature swings and vibration that come with farm life
- Direct replacement design that bolts right in without modifications or adapters
Built for Real Farm Work
This radiator fits the Ford workhorses that built American agriculture—the 4500, 5100, 5200, 5600, and 6600 series tractors, plus industrial models like the 345C, 445C, 535, and 545. Whether your 3000 powers the brush hog on hot summer days, your 4000 pulls hay equipment through heavy windrows, or your 2000 handles loader work around the farmstead, proper cooling keeps these 40-75 horsepower classics running strong. These are the machines that handle everything from mowing and baling to loader work and PTO-driven implements that really make the engine work hard.
Made to Last
Quality construction using traditional materials ensures efficient heat transfer and long-term durability. Unlike cheap aluminum alternatives, this radiator can be serviced and repaired by local radiator shops, maintaining the self-sufficient approach these tractors were designed for. The oil cooler integration means you’re getting two critical cooling functions in one dependable package that’s built to handle the punishment of daily farm use.
Installation Notes
During installation, thoroughly flush the cooling system to remove debris that could clog the new radiator. Replace radiator hoses, clamps, and thermostat while you’re at it – old hoses often fail shortly after radiator replacement. Take time to clean any debris from the radiator mounting area and check that your fan has proper clearance. With the oil cooler built right in, you’ll want to make sure both cooling and hydraulic connections are secure before firing it up.
