Radiators and Parts for International Scout

Keep your International Scout running for many years with an effective radiator keeping the engine cool. Made for models from the Scout 80 to the Super Scout II, these radiators and parts for International Scout will provide you with the replacements that you need.

International Harvester Scouts were in production from 1961 to 1980, so if the original radiator is still operating it may soon need replacement parts. Some common upgrade or replacement components include:

• Vent caps - Your Scouts radiator vent caps help to regulate overall pressure in your radiator. Too much pressure and sensitive components suffer, and without enough pressure, cooling begins to fail. Thus, it pays big dividends to have an efficient vent cap at work.
• Side tanks - The side tanks collect and disperse coolant as it flows into and out of the radiator. Leaking or damaged side tanks can compromise overall cooling efforts, so side tanks need occasional inspections.
• Fans - Responsible for cooling the radiator and engine at low speeds, fans come in a wide-variety of designs. The specific model you need depends on factors like the size of your radiator, the size of your engine, and how you use your Scout pickup.
• Fan Shrouds - Fan shrouds blend into the rest of the motor and are easy to overlook. Engines without fan shrouds tend to have overheating issues. As such, shrouds should be attached properly and provide proper clearance for the fan blades.
• Hoses - Major radiator hoses include the lower and upper hoses. On most motors, the upper hose is responsible for delivering hot coolant to the radiator, while the lower hose is responsible for delivering cool fluid back into the engine block. Because the upper hose needs to handle very hot fluids, it is rated to handle high temperatures as well as higher than normal pressures. To ensure that you receive hoses of the proper temperature and pressure ratings, you should take note of your part number when ordering replacements.
• Fittings - These parts securely connect the ends of your radiator hoses to spigots, nozzles, and other apertures. Fittings come in specific varieties and for specific purposes. When ordering replacement or upgrade hoses, make sure to properly match hose and fitting types. This information is available in your user’s manual.

Your radiator provides a vital service for your engine. Without a radiator in good working order, travel becomes a gamble. To stay ahead of the curve and solve small issues before they become large ones, look for these signs when inspecting your Scout radiator.

• Leaks - Without cooling liquid in the system, cooing is not possible. Thus, if you notice leaks from hoses, junctions, pipes, or vanes, have your system examined right away.
• Overheating - Whether or not you find leaks, your Scout motor can still overheat. If this happens, inspections should be your next step.
• Dirty fluid - If you notice discolored coolant with debris or other contaminants floating around, this may indicate internal radiator corrosion.
