460 Oil Cooler?

John Athey · Jan 1, 2009

Has anyone ever seen an oil cooler on a 460 or 560? Can you add one? It is worth it? What or how would it hook up? Any advice on this?

There is an oil cooler on my 660D with a D-282 engine. It attaches on the left side of engine between the block and the channel frame. My parts books (460 and 560/660) don't show it for gas engines. It was available with the 460 D-236.

one can be added it requires a pump to direct oil to the exchanger, and fittings in the pan to access the oil, and return it. Water cooled gasoline engines working with todays great oils do not need coolers in general. A percentage of engines are designed to use them due to other cooling limitations, but it is rare. If modifications were made to an engine to pump out 20% more continuous (field work, or PTO load) I would consider doing a cooler. At the temps that modern multi wt. oils get thin, or degrade from heat, the engine is already toast. JimN

my 560d with the 282 also has one inside the left frame rail

I'd want to measure my sump temp first.

You could do that with something like an aftermarket automotive gage although it might require a 12v system.

I think if you are running 250F+ continuous then you'd want to think about oil cooling.

A water-oil heat exchanger also has the advantage of being an "oil heater" in colder weather.

yes, my 660,560,and 460 diesels have oil coolers.

Others have said, the 460, 560, 660 etc. that used the 282 diesel and its smaller counter part in the 460 came factory equipped with an oil cooler mounted below the oil filter and behind the left frame rail.

Like Janicholson said, you could add/adapt one to a gasoline engine, but it really would not be worth it

Everyone.....thanks for the info and data. I do appreciate it. The picture is great. It helps me a lot. Like they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words. In the picture, this is the cooler or the Pump? Pump correct? I saw the cooler on ebay, but I didn't but it.

The rectangle box looking thing is the cooler, the oil is supplied to the front side of it by the small cast manifold, while the antifreeze/coolant is provided to the back side by the two hoses and pipe lines in the picture. And the cooler is supported by the manifold that is bolted to the side of the engine block with the base of the oil filter mount in between.

Jordan.....Thank you. I am a novice.....so I went down this morning and looked at my 460. It has the cooler just like the picture you sent me. I could not see mine...until I looked closely. Mine is hidden by the frame. What type of tractor am i looking at in your picture? Where is the frame?

J.J. from Afton · Jan 4, 2009

That is my 560 Standard or Wheatland as I like to call it. The framerail had been removed, cause I had to replace the oil cooler. Over time the plates inside the cooler seperating the coolant and oil had rusted through. So all the antifreeze was being sucked into the freshly rebuilt engine. And in order to put a different cooler in I had to remove the frame rail and put in a good oil cooler after I tested it to be certain. I also ended up replacing the two metal coolant lines in the picture with hose all the way as the lines were full of rust holes.
