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.

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.

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.

Hey guys; Maybe you guys can help me out. I have plans to aquire a 800 series tractor in a few years. I'm going to use it to tow a 5th wheel trailer that will be for the transport of my off-road toy, a built RamCharger, it's also going to have a removable camping section with beds, bathroom...

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...

Man, I gotta tell you, great looking truck. Now I'm really wanting a 5 ton! Josiah
