The other day while I was bushogging, a piece of one of the fan blades suddenly broke off, jamming itself between the radiator and the other blades, and generally raising merry old hell up front. When I tore it down I discovered that the other 5 blades also had stress cracks at the point just below the rivets where the blades contact the fan arms. So they were all about to break off. My radiator man tells me the radiator is good for nothing but the scrap pile. Have any of the rest of you ever had such a thing happen? Do any of you know where I might find an affordable radiator and fan assembly for this tractor?

How about a flex fan used on cars and light trucks. They might have one that can fit most water pump hubs and are vary stong and light weight giving you more power to the wheels then turning the old style steel fan.
Just an idea.

Thanks for the tip. Never heard of a flex fan. Are they available from parts stores?

Walter, I have a radiator off a 830 diesel comfort king here. I parted with the rest of the tractor and decided to keep it. Its in good shape.
Where are you located it might help saving on shipping.
Bob

We are about an hour northeast of Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70422. Does your radiator have the two oil lines at the bottom? Do you have the fan also? Thanks.

A couple of years ago , we paid $355 to re-core our 930 rad. Probably higher now, but the 930 rad is bigger than the 830.

third party image :Mr. Buller just want you to know that I do have a good radiator and fan for your 730 if it is a standard and not Case-O-Matic.

I believe mine is a standard tranny. High and low with 4 forwards and a reverse in each. My radiator man said my radiator wasn't worth trying to save more because it was so old and corroded than because of the damage I did to it. How can I be sure that the one you have has not suffered the same fate over the years? And by the way, my tractor is an 830, not a 730 if there is any difference. Thanks so much for the reply.

Well sort of. I was cutting hay a few years back, and heard a slight rattle up front. I a flash, the fan wrecked the radiator. It was actually the water pump bearing that went bad. But the blades on the 830 are so close to the radiator, that once it caught the radiator, there was not much left. I ended up having a new core put in at the local radiator shop and getting a new fan from Case. The replacement of the bearing and seal were done on my shop work bench. All in all, it was not cheap, around $600-$700, and I did all the work myself. 4-5 hours as I remember.

I appreciate your taking the time to write. I checked the water pump but it seems as good and tight as ever. My radiator man is looking into the cost of a new core. I just never saw fan blades break off from normal use over time.

our local shop wanted $400 for a 730 core. Wouldn't give an exact quote though since metal costs were/are going up daily.
