Here's Billy's radiator shutter frame on his 10 fin per inch radiator with a solid filler. The frame is the only part left, the lever, rod, shutters and all bolts and pins are long gone.

Re: Radiator shutter frame
Shame it's all gone, but at least you shouldn't miss the shutters too much in your climate

My biggest fear is that when i die my wife will sell my tractors for what i told her they cost
Re: Radiator shutter frame
Certainly not! I expect they vanished with the replacement engine, I am pleased to have the frame and original radiator though, as it reminds us that the shutters have been there, and I also prefer the solid filler.

Re: Radiator shutter frame
The rubber filler pipes always seem to run uphill, even with the mounting bracket fitted properly!

Re: Radiator shutter frame
Nice shot, great to see them still on. I guess you have the original radiator, does it have the solid filler?

Re: Radiator shutter frame
Sandy I do have what may be the original radiator, but it is in the floor above. Hyacinth has a replacement one from Agriline.
It was going to be $700 US to have it repaired.
Not sure what you mean by solid filler, but now that I've got the picture posting down, standby and I'll post one up!
Edit: Assume it is not the solid filler?

Re: Radiator shutter frame
Nice! So a 1955 would've originally had the solid filler radiator?

Re: Radiator shutter frame
I think Billy isn't normal in this sense, the change was in February, but stock radiators would have been fitted later, like Billy's one (May).
