Help with attaching a Old shroud to New Radiator

Bobk478 · Sep 10, 2008

Had to replace the radiator in my Ford 3600 (due to axle pin coming out, previous post) got the correct one (from company on this site) all look good except that the shroud does not attach. Old Radiator was 19 inch across top and 18 1/2 on bottom. New radiator is reversed. Needless to say the bottom being too wide is the issue. Not sure what to do, I don’t have any way to fabricate new shroud or brackets and I know you have to have the shroud or it wont cool right. The shroud feels and looks like plastic (sure it’s not but it something like that). Only thing I can come up right now is trying to heat it up and bend it a little (but not sure if you can do that)? any suggestions or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Talked to the company where I bought the radiator (said mine should fit and they don’t have one). Have already checked out the ford site and they don’t show one for a 3600 but going to call my local dealer tomorrow morning and see. Hate to spend more money, but if I have to then don’t have much choice. Biggest thing is this down time, really need my tractor working. Thanks
