Got the new D15 diesel in the shop to make some repairs over the winter and came across something I have not seen before. The fan is much closer to the radiator shroud on the right side compared to the left. I can easily fit my index finger between the fan blade and shroud on the left side, but can barely fit a pen on the right side. Same goes for the height of the rad - the previous owner put spacers under the mounts to raise it. If they were not there, I suspect the fan would not be able to spin without causing damage. Everything looks original: Perfex brand radiator, 4 blade fan and appears to have the original water pump (brazed on one spot). Would anyone have any insight on this problem?      ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

My guess would be someone doctored the radiator and didn't get it right... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

The neck might have been worked on at some point, but the rest of the rad doesn't look like its been messed with. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Yes , as the Dr. said it was crashed at some point in it's life. No big deal just repair it as needed. |
