Cat Hotrod

That's probably how much radiator it takes to keep that "flathead" cool😊 😊

Looks about like an old D2 or D4 tractor radiator but would be pretty heavy with the cast iron frame (sides) and tanks on it.

The radiator on this hotrod looks like it came off a CAT TEN, FIFTEEN, or TWENTY. I never saw or believe they made a radiator for a D2 with the old wavy logo. It is an interesting idea for the hotrod 😊 W. SMITH

Yep, looking at the elevated oblong filler hole and cap, I'd also guess 10, 15, 20?? Most of the ones I've seen had the model cast on the side castings. The bigger issue for me is how you see where you are going. Unless there is a hole in the roof and you are sitting on a bucket, how do you see past the engine, carb and radiator combination.

I guess you kinda got a idea where you were pointed before you got in the thing and just went from memory until you heard a bad noise.😮

Have a nice labor day holiday and pray for those in harms way on the gulf and east coast,

You are right it does look like a wavey cast name as my picture didn,t look too clear and I also didn,t look too close.

It needs a "Hot Rodded" Cat engine behind the radiator to really make it look sharp.LOL😄

The Rad is off of a Cat Ten or small Fifteen. There are only four bolts across the top to hold the radiator guard. I do not know which tractor the guard is off of.
Thanks

A Cat 3208 V-8 would look cute in it, more for show than go.I have seen the old flat head Ford V8 engines installed in the Ford farm tractors like the old Ford 8N tractors.
