Radiator fan shroud

[Pminyard]

The radiator that I have is 16"wide by 24"tall by 3" thick --obtained locally---and identical to the one that came off of the tractor (with the exception that this one does not leak like a sieve).
The fan shroud is apparently not going to fit without cutting some of the lower half of the shroud away to prevent the fan from striking it.

Does anyone know of a source for a fan shroud that will fit this radiator without the modification?? The old fan shroud fell apart completely when I was disassembling the tractor--so much of it was rusted away that it was impossible to tell if it had been modified or not.

Recently we replaced the radiator on our 8N built in 1948.
The radiator I purchased had the same problem you described. The fan had a considerable interference with the bottom of the shroud.
We were able to elongate the holes in the side of the shroud enough to slide the shroud down enough to eliminate the interference. We used a 5/32 chain saw file to elongate the holes. The holes were elongated about 5/16 of an inch.
Hope this helps.
Thank You
