    ZTu radiator

    Thank you. I’ll be in the ground for sure if it lasts as long as the first one!

    ZTu radiator

    I had posted about this before. I finished the engine in my ZTu and next step was to address the radiator. The local shop said he didn’t think he could successfully re-core it. I took T.R.K’s advice and found another shop. Warren Townsend in Mt. Clemens, Michigan recored my original Modine...

    Z radiator. Does anyone build them?

    I found a gentleman up north right after I posted this, who has built Z radiators before. Tessman tractor recommended him. The price he gave me to build a new aluminum one is basically the same price I’d pay for a re-core and he said I’d need to UPS him my current one to serve as a blueprint...

    Z radiator. Does anyone build them?

    I’m in need of a ZTu radiator. I figure anything used I find won’t be usable since they’re all getting older. The radiator shop told me with my current one, the tanks aren’t nice enough to even consider a re-core. Frustrating, but it happens with a restoration. Does anyone recommend someone...

    Another Z question

    It’s a 47 Z. Radiator is a Modine but not sure part number right off. For some reason I’m thinking it’s 6621 maybe. I can look later. Won’t all year ZTU radiators fit, with some modifications maybe needed?

    Another Z question

    I think I answered my own question. I think my radiator shell is bent i had noticed that too and had the same thought. I backed out on them last night to see if I could get it to fit.. still doesnt fit. I can’t figure out if maybe this side of the radiator shell is bent out just enough where it...

    Another Z question

    I bought a used radiator for my tractor. Had the radiator pressure tested and it passed so I installed, using the hardware my service manual listed. The left side of the shroud lined up & bolted up fine. The right side (pictured here) has about 2” gap between the shroud and shell and the bolts...

    I love it. It's great to see an early Z.

    ZTU battery box

    Yep. I posted about my shifter issue and he told me exactly what the issue was and sold me what I needed.

    ZTU battery box

    That pin you sent me for the shift plate on this Z fixed my problem there. I thank you again!

    ZTU battery box

    That's exactly on par with my journey with the k4 coil and actually part of the reason I just bought a "ready to go" from the magneto shop. I'd love to eventually own an early Z like yours. I really like those earlier style wheels

    ZTU battery box

    Is the '37 the K4B4 magneto? My '48 has that magneto. I bought a rebuilt one from Rudy's magneto in Minnesota.

    ZTU battery box

    If you ever want one, I could give you the shop's info. Congrats on your '37. I love those earlier Zs.

    ZTU battery box

    Yes exactly. I’m in the Deep South where MM was very light on the ground here, so outside of this forum and a friend in South Carolina who collects, I’ve had to make a lot of connections in the Midwest to find stuff I need

    ZTU battery box

    Yep that was me haha. I ran ads everywhere trying to find an original. I did find an original toolbox that was in good shape, but I could never find any decent battery box. I had this one built and was curious what MM guys thought. I’m happy with it. I think it’ll blend right in with fresh paint

    ZTU battery box

    Here’s a battery box I had built for my Ztu How does it look to y’all? I think it came out pretty close to an original. The mounts and instrument box are originals. I plan to get it painted prairie gold soon

    ZTU Battery Box

    Right.. I'm hoping if I look hard enough for long enough and keep cash ready, I can eventually find a nice original. I thought an original toolbox in any sort of decent shape would never show up, but I'm really happy to say I just bought one 30 minutes ago.

    ZTU Battery Box

    It's for the earlier Z. It's for a ZTU where the battery box is on a stand behind the fuel tank.. I believe Za has the box under the tank? I could be wrong, as this is my first restoration. And yes sir.. Not easy to find in any decent shape.. I finally got a solid lead on an original ZTU tool...

    ZTU Battery Box

    I don't think I've posted here yet, but I'm in need of a battery box for a 1948 Ztu. Mine is in pretty sad shape. I've been thinking of taking mine and seeing if I can pay to have a replacement built just like it, but I don't want to quite give up on finding a nice original just yet. Any...
