Swing Radiator in Texas - Curt Sprenger - 08-29-2006 16:55 Henry, Can't help you with the shop approach. But, if you are handy, can cut steel, can weld, you can do it yourself and save at least a $$grand. Let me know and I'll point you to the pictures, procedures, etc. to make it happen.

Swing Radiator in Texas - w3ww - 08-30-2006 01:59 As long as we are on this subject: Does anybody know if the 87FC35 comes standard with a swing radiator, is it a factory option or an owner installed feature??? I just could not find the answer in previous posts, The factory sales literature or anywhere. Thanks in advance. Don Mohney Jensen Beach, FL Very Seriously Looking [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Swing Radiator in Texas - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 08-30-2006 02:14 Good morning Henry: (1) I don't know of any in your area (2) Most mobile service techs do not have the welding or torch tools needed on their units. (3) The parts needed to put the swing rad on need to be manufactured by a good shop (4) Many have had this done at Randy's in Fla or Holland in Mich as they have the shop and tools. It is doable and much needed. The first Factory swings came out in '85 I believe.

The service hassle increases as you go up the horsepower food chain.

Claeys - 08-30-2006 05:22 Curt. I have a good friend who's an excellent welder and he'd be happy to do the job with some direction. I think that photos and procedures would be a great place to start so I'll accept your offer. Thanks. Henry Claeys, 1979 FC 35, Austin, Tx. henry@...

It took about a week working on and off after work. The way I did mine required three welds. I cut the pieces, lined everything up, and a friend stopped by with his welder and welded it up. I used one 1000lb gate hinge. If I need to remove the radiator I can drain it, remove the hoses, and lift it off. (well two of us can lift it off anyway!) I posted some pictures, but I think they disappeared when the site splintered. If you are interested I will dig them up. If you get to Fort Worth stop by and I will show it to you. It took longer to correctly route the hoses and Hydraulic lines that to make the radiator swing. - Chuck Wheeler - 82 FC 31 SB Fort Worth, TX _____ From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Henry F.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Swing Radiator in Texas - Ralph L. Fullenwider - 08-30-2006 14:53 Hi Howard: No, I have not seen a swing on a PT. Have to admit though, it would have been nice during a couple of fan motor rebuilds. One idea I have seen though, on a PT, it was a stainless steel scoop, about 3 1/2 inches for the duct and ran the length of the rear seam vertical of the radiator over the louvers. This forced more air flow on the road through the rad. I know that when I get a PT, I will be building one for mine.
