Help finding MF 275 Radiator

After an extensive internet parts search and phone calls, I had a local dealer order one. Came in--wrong one. Part #A-579337M92 fits the tractor, but has no oil cooler. The one on the tractor is A-579337M91, but we cannot find one by that number. We tried A-579339M91 which has close specs and is listed for a 285. Got it in and it won't fit--necks too large and core too thick.

The ones the dealer has ordered come from Clancy in Ireland. The one off the tractor has a brass tag that says Long (Canada) with the 579331M91 number.

Any ideas or a cross reference to one with an oil cooler that would fit? Thanks for the help.

You asked what happened. I was chisel plowing some rough land getting it ready for sprigging Tifton 85 bermuda grass. After 3 days of bouncing off the dry hard clods on the third pass, the bolts holding the front axle support structure worked loose. One of the 3/4 inch aluminum spacers came out when one bolt snapped. In turn, that allowed the top of the radiator support to lean back--in fact it moved the entire hood and dash assembly sheet metal with it to some degree. It took one particularly hard bounce of the front end to allow the fan to get a "bite". Then whoosh--antifreeze everywhere.

Lesson learned, when you hear the strange noise, don't keep running like I did. I did get off and look a couple of times, but couldn't isolate the strange sound. It didn't heal itself!

You have to understand this was in the tractor abuse category. Running full throttle for days on extremely rough ground, with a chisel plow sunk in as deep as I could pull in 1st gear, high range.

My MF 1085 was in the shop getting a new head gasket so I didn't have another choice at that time.

I say just re-core it and don't worry about finding the right radiator. Re-cored ones are just as good as new, and very often look like new unless the tanks are really beat up.
