Some of you have probably followed Paul's (goxu1) ordeal with a Clancy that was shipped to Australia. TM sent me a replacement. When I checked it against one that I bought about 10 years ago from Tom and Lynn, the height and lean are the same. If someone has a new, uninstalled Clancy, would you take it from the box and see if it leans about 1/4 inch at the top? Trying to figure out why the two (old and new) are the same and his doesn't fit, although mine has never been installed.
Thanks, Bob

Re: Clancy radiator problem
My guess is that Paul's tractor has had front end damage at some point. It wouldn't take much to cause a 1/4 inch difference.
Another thought is shipping damage. It's probably changed hands several times in that long trip.

Re: Clancy radiator problem
It seems odd that of all the radiators IH made or had made was just fine and now no one can make a radiator that fits properly (thats what I gather from all your comments.)!
And of all the places to mfg, the cub radiators are made in Ireland.
Well I guess Ireland is better than China, but even that dont matter if none of them fit right!

Re: Clancy radiator problem
You guys need to get out more- this happens across the board whether its for a 1959 MG or a 1970 Honda motorcycle. You at times wonder why they went through all the work to reproduce something only to miss it by just that much. Be thankful you got what you can get even if you have to make it fit,the alternative is paying through the nose for some rusted out dented and torn up used part that you have to fix as well.

Re: Clancy radiator problem
There is a possibility it has frozen at sometime and the bolster is warped a little.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: Clancy radiator problem
Paul has been measuring with it on the bench. His bolster may be bulged but the radiator he has, the replacement sent to me, and the one I have all lean between 1/4-1/2" back towards the fan.
