I give up. I have looked at pictures of different unstyled G's and sometimes I hear one called a low radiator G but I can't see a difference. What makes this distinction? It appears that the radiator is the same height and design as the others. My dad has a 38 G and I was wanting to find out if it is one of these kind.

As I understand it, a JD swat team went out and found every low radiator G tractor possible and changed the radiator, hood, and air breather to the carburator connection. They didn't miss many.
The small radiator did not remove enough heat and JD didn't want any unhappy customers.

The early G's had problems with overheating, so Deere came up with a larger radiator. Most of the earlier radiators were replaced. The bigger radiators have a groove in the top tank for clearance for the steering shaft. Sometimes people with a an early G that has been converted still call the tracter a low-radiator G. This tends to confuse the issue. If your tractor has a serial # below 4251 it was shipped with the small(low) radiator.

The first G's had too small of a radiator. After recieving complaints JD increased the size of the radiator.

There's a good picture in one of the back issues
of Two-Cylinder that should show the distance
between the top of the radiator and the steering
rod. The distance is (primarily) the difference.
I'm sure someone can post the radiator story. rick
