MF 1030 Radiator?

tyman2 · Jun 4, 2007

Would any one happen to know where I could get a radiator for a MF 1030. It's the early 142 3-Cylnder diesel. S/N 00312. My local dealer always has one word for every part when I need it. "Discontinued" Can a different radiator be made to work? I've tried a few people online but no ones been of any help. Can't recore the one I have. Thanks!

Could you take it to radiator shop and have it rebuilt? It may cost close to the same as new, but I have found them to be better. They take there time and don't mass produce.

tyman2: I saw a 1030 at a local dealer that also auctions. It has been there for a while. They are very knowledgable. I have known them to ship as well.

Good luck. I have the same problem with 1020 parts.

I don't know where your located (nothing in your profile), but if you have a NAPA, or large parts store near you, maybe they could match up something that would fit. There are tractor junkyards, and they have connections with other tractor junkyards across the country, maybe they could locate something for you. If all else failed, I would get the measurements and go to an auto scrapyard and find something in a small compact car/truck that might be adapted to work. Good luck with your search, and welcome to TBN.

Thank You all for your advice. I noticed Godley's mentioned by others and gave them a call before original posting. Regular parts person was out and they never returned my call. Guess I'll try them again. I checked a lot of salvage yards and found a used one. They want 275.00 for it. That seemed a bit high.
