Title: old radiator 1922 id Post by: fe350chev on October 11, 2014, 12:21:00 PM Hey fellas. Went to Dimboola swap meet this morning and found this. Says on plaque, modine model 821 made USA in 1922. Came with an old manifold. It was interesting so I got it. Also picked up a xb master for the Gemini booster and some badges. Does anyone know what it's from(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x448/fewithrb40/taxi/IMAG1817.jpg) ($2)

But they also used them for heating buildings from stream equipment. So I'm trying to work out if it's a tractor or stationary one. Those three wheeler tractors used similar but mounted sideways.
