    Upper Radiator hose for M1008

    I just measured the ID of the hose that was on there, it is 1.75". The one that was labeled 21284 is 1.5" ID. I think I found the problem.

    Upper Radiator hose for M1008

    I'll check it tonight. I was wondering if it was an aftermarket radiator, but the thermostat side is the same diameter as the radiator side. Weird.

    Upper Radiator hose for M1008

    The Pics aren't the best, the hose I was given almost fits inside the opening on the radiator. My next stop is to try and find a good parts guy.

    Upper Radiator hose for M1008

    Unfortunately, 21284 is the hose I received. Unless it was mislabeled from the factory, it's not going to fit. I just grabbed a few pics. It's dark here, so bare with me. The 21284 is above the one that was on it.

    5 ton tractor with a deuce bed? Good idea or not?

    I've been thinking about this for awhile myself. I like the idea of the short wheelbase for increased manuverability. My other thought is to build a slightly shorter flat-bed utility bed with space between the bed and cab for the spare and re-routed exhaust stack. All of this with a 800-series...
