best source for Farmall M radiator

littlefarmer · May 17, 2016

Can anyone advise on the best source for a new radiator for my Farmall M?

I've replaced several over the years, and the fit and quality hasn't been the best. Are they all made in China now?

I would like to get the 4-row core type. I use my M to farm 160 acres. It isn't a "parade" tractor.

Try Bates Corporation Bourbon Indiana.

Bates will work with you, but they had to send me 4 before I got one that would actually fit without me having to modify the holes, or something. I cant recall where the last one came from, but it was more than the other 3 by a couple of hundred. I have bought a couple from a guy on ebay, I think its Universal radiators, but neither was for an M, but they fit almost perfect!

I have never purchased an aftermarket radiator for any of my restoration tractors and have found they are easily repaired by a competent radiator shop. In fact, the shops really like to see an original one as they were made "the old fashion way" and easily repaired being made from materials which they like and can work with. The fit up problems are non existent with an original IH manufactured radiator we see being discussed numerous times on this forum. I really doubt it would be difficult to find a decent repairable core to start with for a Farmall M from my experience, Hal.
