955L top radiator tank

Pat Kohne · 2023-04-13 22:46

Hello everyone, Reaching out for help in locating a top tank for my 955L. Going to try and repair mine but it’s really rough. I’ve tried several scrap yards and parts places with no luck. Hoping someone may have some parts lying around. Thanks, Pat

    Do you know what Part Number you are looking for.? If you do then how about sharing it.?

    If you run out of options I know a guy that can make you one if he is not traveling. Looks like your ports and necks are sound and reusable in the tank. He ran his radiator shop many years and still builds things for antique equipment and collectible automobiles. I am west of Peoria and he is just outside of town.

    take it to a good welder and reline the tanks, my tanks were shot , or you can take some thin metal about 16 ga and cut the pieces out and then mig weld the the top and bottom tanks from the inside, if you check previous post page #30 in this same forum look at my post back a while page #30 (plugged 955l radiator core clean out recomendation ) you will see my tank reline went fine fest

    Machinery Trader Parts shows a couple of leads for that P/N. Both say "call for price" and one seller claims to have 4 available. Might be worth a couple of phone calls. Parts For Sale | MachineryTrader.com Parts For Sale | MachineryTrader.com at MachineryTrader.com www.machinerytrader.com

    Thanks Nige. I talked with them the other day. No luck. The gentlemen was not sure why they were still populating.

    Try Offroad Equipment in Alcoa TN. If they don't have one they may well be able to give you some leads.

    Thanks for everyone’s help!!! I feel it turned out okay. I ended up welding the top tank myself. Hopefully no leaks!!
