Description

When you’re watching that temperature gauge climb on your XL series Case IH, it’s time to stop crossing your fingers and get a proper replacement. These workhorse tractors have been putting in decades of hard work, but that original radiator isn’t keeping up anymore. Between pinhole leaks, clogged cores, and just plain old age, a failing radiator puts your valuable engine at serious risk of expensive heat damage.

What You’re Getting

Direct replacement that fits like the original without modifications
Heavy-duty core designed to handle the heat these 100+ horsepower engines throw at it
Compatible with QTP-52498 water pump and matching radiator hoses for complete system refresh
Built to handle pressure cycling and temperature swings that come with real farm work
Proper cooling capacity to keep your tractor running when the going gets tough

Built for Real Farm Work

Your 955XL, 1055XL, 956XL, or 1056XL represents some serious horsepower that still earns its keep daily on many operations. Whether you’re pulling heavy implements, running a big round baler, or pushing through long days in the field, marginal cooling becomes dangerous fast. These tractors were built to work hard, and this radiator gives them the cooling they need to keep doing it.

Made to Last

This isn’t some lightweight replacement that’ll leave you stranded again next season. The heavy-duty construction handles the vibration, temperature swings, and general abuse that farm equipment dishes out. The core provides maximum heat rejection in the original footprint, while the tanks are built to handle the pressure cycling agricultural use demands.

Good to Know

When you’re replacing the radiator, it’s the perfect time to refresh the whole cooling system. Check that QTP-52498 water pump for any play or leaks, and replace those radiator hoses – old ones often fail right after you disturb them. Flush the block thoroughly, replace the thermostat and pressure cap, and use proper 50/50 coolant mixture. These older tractors can have sediment buildup, so consider adding an inline filter to protect your new investment.
