Description

When your temperature gauge starts climbing into the red zone while you’re pushing through tough hay fields or hauling grain, your radiator is telling you it’s time for replacement. A failing radiator doesn’t just overheat your engine – it can sideline your tractor right when you need it most. This early-type radiator is built specifically for Case IH 248, 284, 485, and 885 models, plus the XL 595, 695, 795, 895, and 995 series up to 1987, bringing your cooling system back to factory performance.

What You’re Getting

Early type design that matches your pre-1987 Case IH cooling system requirements exactly
Multi-row core construction that handles heavy loads and hot weather conditions
Durable brass and copper construction that resists corrosion and transfers heat efficiently
Direct replacement mounting that uses your existing brackets and connections
Heavy-duty construction built to handle decades of vibration and temperature cycling

Built for Real Farm Work

These Case IH models were workhorses in their day – from the compact utility 595 series pulling rotary cutters and hay equipment to the bigger 885 and 995 models powering through heavy tillage and harvest work. Whether you’re running a hay operation, grain farming, or handling livestock chores, this radiator provides the cooling capacity these hardworking tractors need when you’re pushing them through long, hot days.

Made to Last

This isn’t some universal radiator that might fit – it’s manufactured specifically for these early Case IH models with their particular cooling needs and mounting configurations. The heavy-duty construction handles decades of vibration, temperature swings, and the general abuse that farm equipment takes, while the multi-row core provides the cooling capacity these engines require.

Good to Know

Before installing, verify your tractor is pre-1987 – later models use part 52126 or 52375 depending on year. Flush your entire cooling system before installation to remove any debris that could contaminate fresh coolant. It’s also smart to replace those radiator hoses while everything’s apart, since old hoses often fail right after you disturb them during radiator replacement.
