Here’s some pics of a JCB 8042 Forklift radiator we overhauled. The radiator is an all metal unit with a copper & brass core, brass inlet (top) & outlet (bottom) tanks & steel side braces. The core has six rows of staggered tubes. After disassembling the radiator we boiled the core in our ultrasonic & [...]

Here’s some pics of a cuprobrazed aftercooler for a 3412 Caterpillar engine. These aftercoolers typically come in for cleaning & pressure testing during engine rebuilds. We machine our own test plugs for pressure testing these types of coolers so we can test them not only at low pressure but very high pressures as well. 5435 [...]

Here’s some before, during & after pics of some Caterpillar number 2W-5540 folded radiator cores we're rebuilding. This set is out of a 793C haul truck radiator which takes sixty of these 2W5540 cores. Each core has two brass tanks which we remove for rodding out the tubes to give each section a complete rod [...]

Here’s some pics of another late night delivery we made to one of the mines. The cooling package is a Caterpillar 793F Radiator Module. Also on the trailer is a Caterpillar 740 radiator hardnose cooling package. We did a complete repair & overhaul to both units to get them ready for another round of service [...]

Here’s some pics of a couple of Caterpillar 793F Mesabi radiators we're rebuilding. Each radiator has seven hundred & sixty eight individual copper tubes. Each tube has an upper & lower rubber grommet seal. We remove every tube for cleaning as well as every seal for bore cleaning & inspection along with the installation of [...]

Here’s some pics of a late night delivery we made to one of the mines. This is a Caterpillar 793F haul truck Mesabi Radiator Module Cooling Package.

Here’s some pics of an aluminum bar-and-plate radiator & intercooler cooling stack for a Caterpillar 6060 shovel we delivered back to one of the mines. Both the radiator & the aftercooler received a recore with new heavy duty high efficiency cores. The 6060FS shovel has two engines so the machine takes two of these cooling [...]

Here’s some pics of a dual radiator & lo-temp aftercooler cooling package we rebuilt & delivered back to our customer. The radiator module is for an Ingersoll Rand, or DML, drill rig. The radiator is a bolt-on, or bolt together, type with steel top & bottom tanks & a heavy duty copper & brass core. [...]

Here’s some pics of a diesel fuel tank off of a 2006 Case Backhoe that came in leaking. We first thermal cleaned the tank before repairing the area of the leak. After welding we discovered the bottom plate or floor of the tank was cracked. After getting the crack all welded & sealed up we [...]

Here’s some pics of a Caterpillar 793F Mesabi radiator we're finishing up the rebuild and overhaul to. Today we sunk the radiator in our test tank to put it through a rigorous pressure test to make sure it doesn't leak. After passing the pressure test it will move on to the assembly area to get [...]
