Whether you’re dealing with pinhole leaks, clogged tubes, or damage from that encounter with a low branch, this direct-fit radiator restores the cooling power your hardworking tractor needs to handle long days pulling heavy implements.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement that fits all Maxxum 5120-5250 models perfectly

Built for Real Farm Work
These Maxxum tractors don’t spend their days looking pretty in the shed—they work for a living. Whether your 5140 is pulling a loaded disc through tough soil, your 5230 is running a hay merger all day, or the 5250 is your go-to for heavy PTO work, proper cooling keeps everything running smooth. When temperatures climb and you’re pushing these machines hard, a failing radiator becomes a serious liability that can lead to expensive engine damage.
Made to Last
This isn’t some universal radiator with brackets bolted on—it’s built to Case IH specifications for proper fit and performance. The tank construction handles the pressure cycling and vibration that comes with agricultural use, while the core design matches the heat rejection requirements these engines demand. Quality construction means it’ll keep your Maxxum running cool season after season.
Installation Notes
Radiator replacement is the perfect time to service your entire cooling system. Replace those questionable hoses, install a fresh thermostat, and make sure your water pump isn’t showing signs of wear. Use proper 50/50 coolant mixture and bleed the system completely—air pockets cause hot spots that’ll damage your new radiator. With everything done right, you’ll have worry-free cooling for years to come.
