Guest wsmoto Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hi to all Petrolheads. With big respect to all of you I would like to ask for help to identify this radiator from my basement. What draw my attention is hole similar to the cars with manual starter key. All answers will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Looks like is from an English car or light truck. The drain cock looks very similar to the one in my 1960 MGA , however I suspect your Radiator is early post war or perhaps even slightly pre war.

Guest wsmoto Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi Greg Thanks for reply. Radiator is made from brass my first thought was an english tractor because of the size, but in that era all radiators has been much bigger so it might be car one... hope someone can name it.

Spinneyhill Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 There is a rusty plaque on the top tank left side, near the inlet pipe. Can you read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The core is the type made in the 1950s - 60s but the tanks look older. Designed for a non pressurized cooling system. There is also no bracket or fittings on the top for upper struts. I am thinking stationary equipment or a light tractor with a cast or heavy grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try to rub gently this plaque to remove rust but no results. Is might be some sort of repair patch. Well spotted! Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what kind of stationary equipment you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I was thinking about : Generator, Water Pump, Portable Welder, Etc On most cars and trucks the ( top ) expansion tank hung over the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
