Ford Radiator on irrigation pump

cornfarmer77 · Jan 14, 2019

Looking for help identifying the radiator I need to replace on an irrigation pump. It's a 6 cyl Ford motor, and Dad says it looks like a Ford radiator, but the only identifying maths I can find are on a little tag that says 660.

Core dimensions are:
2 3/4" thick
22.5" wide
24.75" tall between tanks
4 rows of cores.

4 shroud holes on sides 7.5 centers, centered on core sheet vertically, 1/4 in from sides

Thanks in advance for any help!

They used a lot of 250 and 300 six motors on pumps so it could be probably an industrial or heavy duty. You can try a radiator shop. Good thing about pumps it does not have to be exact fit like a car.

Didn't look like the photos uploaded the first time.

Thanks for the pointer. You're right that we have more flexibility, although in a perfect world I'd find one that fit their brackets and shroud.

I would check auto parts stores/radiator shops on the dimentions and hose size should be fairly easy on. Plus a good shop could repair or re core it. (I know) radiator shops are scarce.

Try searching "radiators by dimension".

There will be several to choose from that make aftermarket aluminum radiators.

If you can find something in stock that will fit, all the better. Save time and money.

Never dealt with this company, so not a recommendation, but they have agricultural applications.

I would pull serial tag off complete unit, go from there, probably custom.

think ive seen this before, measure the dimensions on yours then go the computer and type in radiator, 1955 chevy truck , 6 cylinder, that looks amazingly similar except for the lower hose bung your not using, if its the same dimensions, that ones pricey at over 200 bucks, but it gives you a model to look for used

It looks very much like a 60's or 70's Ford medium duty truck radiator (and it likely is).

For your situation just use anything that is big enough to cool it sufficiently. I know being able to put the replacement in the old brackets is much faster and easier.
Why would anybody want an aluminum radiator? I watched those cheap Freightliner Alumminum cores with plastic tanks puking all the time in truckstops. Poor guys set till the company would get somebody to find one and replace it.
