Could use a little help on older Case 311 #8308048 01/10/25 01:28 PM 01/10/25 01:28 PM

Randy Wieland OP trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Lebanon, WI	I have a 1956 Case 311 -S/N 6055779 (not 311B) and been searching for a radiator. I've had a few of the online part lists come up with Case Part # G13090 for the radiator. When I find a radiator by part number, it references to 311-B which is very different. Anyone out here deal with older tractors or have an accurate parts manual that can confirm the correct #? OR have the radiator I need? Google isn't treating me well today with search results and I'm about done adulting for the day. The only thing worse than losing........Is QUITTING! Lifetime Member WTA

Most of the truck shops around here use a rad shop to recore the ones that are not plastic. Maybe call a truck shop and ask. In PA there is melcott radiator in sunbury or shamokin pa I believe, but there should be one closer to you.

Goal is to find a decent used that I can drop in or buy and have recored if needed. The only thing worse than losing........Is QUITTING! Lifetime Member WTA

Same shop fixed a leaking core out of a Ford tractor. I'd start with one of those guys in you have one around. There are a few bone yards with parts tractors in them, but those are the same age as the one you have. And may be in worse shape. Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

Randy Wieland OP trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Lebanon, WI	Thanks Bob. A guy on one of the Facebook sites confirmed actual part number and a cross reference list. Not much left in Racine since they tore down Clausen Works. Few big shows coming up around Reedsberg this summer. Time to make some contacts. The only thing worse than losing........Is QUITTING!
