A question about a Farmall C cooling system

Roger in Wisconsin · Aug 10, 2014

I have a 1948 Farmall C. I was wondering what type of radiator cap I should get. It does not have a water pump but there is a overflow tube coming from the top where the cap goes.
In the catalog they list a 4lb, 7lb, and non-pressurized.
Does this system handle summer temps well?

The pressurized caps (choose 7#) fit in a neck that looks like a regular car cap. It has cam flanges on the outside of the neck, and a gasket seat down in the neck an inch or so. The non pressure cap fits on like the gas cap. The neck has cam flanges on the inside. They are very different. Fill either system only an inch over the core tubes. There is no overflow reserve, and the excess will puke out. Jim
