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  |

Looks like it's from a small Howard two cylinder tractor

Yeah many tractors used modine from 1916 to mid 20's after which time they won the contract for the model t. 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.

Modine Radiators were made for all sorts of automotive and agricultural cooling. Looks like it may have come off a tractor. http://www.modine.com/web/en/history.htmClick on History |

I love the look of it. Weird cos it's just a bloody radiator but how cool would it look on a ratrod.
