Case 511b radiator

[BoCBones]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and forums in general.

Desperately looking for a radiator for my dad's 511b. Called all over Canada and the US with no luck. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction or know if another model radiator would fit the 511b. Thanks

Only one matching p/n (420BD wheel tractor) and that is for the 1959 500B model year. You don't say what which year your 511B is. Some of the 1959 x00B model tractors' radiators tend to be a little taller than the 1958 with the radiator cap sticking up above the grill cap sheet metal while the 1958 models cap is below the grill cap under a removable cover. I think you would have the best luck doing some measuring of your radiator and try to match that ballpark with the other dry clutch 1958-1959 x00B tractors. The alternative is searching
salvage yards for a 500B of your year.

Here are a couple of well known to the Case forum and proven sellers:
Don Livingston, Austin MN, (507) 433-0073, Large salvage yard up there in the MN tundra.

Jean Claude Marleau L'Orignal, Ontario [email protected] 613-632-9445. JC is a good guy but the present shipping costs Canada/USA may be prohibitive.

I think I have a couple from a 600B in western PA. Probably very similar. I have an issue just as Joe describes, where the radiator in the tractor doesn't work with the tin I want to use.

Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate the response.
My best guess is it's a 1959 (serial #6107639). I found a rad from a 411b within 3 hours from me, the top tank is 1 inch taller then my rad. Total height of my rad (including top tank) is 22.5". Core is 17.5"x15.5".

I will keep calling around.
Thanks
