I've gotten myself set on running a Bobcat radiator in my buggy, because they lay horizontal. The problem is that they are insanely expensive new (of course). There are no local sources for used tractor parts and the local dealer has been uncooperative. Does anybody have a place near them they can give me a number to or possibly call and ask? I'm looking for the largest one I can find, either from a 743/ 753 or 853 should work.

i gotta ask why? you can make any radiator do what you want. get a generic aluminum from summit,move the necks to where you need them and run an inline cap/water neck.

Why not weld on a new neck on an existing radiator on the "top" or plug the old filler and run an inline filler from Summit?
You can get aluminum "regular" radiators for like $150

Bobcat Rads cool extremely well, as they are designed to cool with little to no airflow up to at leat a 60hp engine, and thats a decent sized engine to cool. We ran the rad from an older gas Bobcat on a balewagon for the same reason, and it cooled a 360 ChryCo just fine at any speed.

Honestly, I never thought about modifying an existing radiator. This one comes fully ready to go with a filler on top and everything. I suppose if I ran the inlet on the top of the radiator an inline filler would work, if not I think it would be a huge PITA to bleed.

Exactly why I want one. This is going in my buggy, I have the fans to produce airflow but the smaller the better IMO. The engine is a propane fueled, built 350.

Watch the 1st herse episode of MG. They were getting a lot of their parts from a Bobcat junk yard that HAD to be close to Long Beach.

You should check into a drag racing water pump made for horizontal radiators. Meziere make one with a built in expansion tank and air separator. May be a better route to go.

As long as you run a higher preassure cap on the radiator then you do in the in-line one it should work fine. Just make sure the filler is at the highest point in the line. I'm not sure whether the radiator cares what you use as the inlet/outlet :D
There is a junk yard near us that may have one from a BC but you would have to have it shipped from MD.

Hef don't make me come down there and bitch slap you!:flipoff2:
