Which way is front on radiator supports?

Postby Rich Gregerson » Fri Aug 25, 2006 8:08 pm

When I removed the radiator on my 1949 Cub, I, of course, didn't notice which way the brackets were oriented. There are two holes on the top of each bracket, one hole has a welded on nut and the other hole is just a hole. Does the "nutted" (is this a new Cub word?) hole go to the front or the back? My books don't show anything.
The bracket looks like this: (The "@" is the nutted hole.)
Ignore the periods on the drawing, it's the only way it'll work.

.......... l...0.....@...l ------------> Front ??

I guess I shouldn't have tried to do this drawing at home.

Thanks Guys!!
Regards, Rich
It wasn't broken, but I fixed it anyhow.
It's now broken and I can't fix it any way.
I have leftover parts somewhere.
I hope to reassemble it someway.
Then I can re-fix it somehow,
And hope to drive it some day!

Look for the side that has the two small holes....fan shroud srews go there. That side should be the back side. 8)

Rich, no matter which wya you put it on the first tiem it will be wrong. :lol:

Actually I believe your picture is correct, assuming that meant nut to front. On my supports, both sides are drilled for shroud, but if you look closely only one side has been used.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

You're right John, the welded on nuts go to the furthermost front of the tractor.

Nuts go to the front, after taking "Bette's" off and on, oh, about a half dozen times i figured this out. Both sides were tapped for the fan shroud, and i had retapped to clean up the threads, so that was confusing as well. But i eventually got it, when the cub pro showed up! :D :oops: :D John

Again, I thank all for the help and info.
I should have stated that the drawing was of a side, left or right.
It's nice to do things right the first time, even if it's a rare occasion!
There are also small holes front and rear at the top of the brackets.
This doesn't matter as these would work for the shroud regardless of which way the brackets are installed.
Happy Cubing!
