88 FC swing rad NOT???

[James Harvie]

I had no clue untill after I got mine home, found a fan, shroud and an old
electric chutch, and The shaft missing, up in the rear storage pod, that mine
had been converted to electric fans. There are 4, housed in 2 small shrouds. It
looks like there's plenty of room to change my belts. Maybe that's an answer to
all this trama with swing radiators.(maybe quieter too) I'll let you know in a
few days when I remove my belts to check out the bearings in all that spins up
there.I'll see if I can find the manufactures name.

and others: Than you for the replies. The 87 to 89 FC's are a
different breed. The swing rad opens just enough to change belts and
rip your hands to shreds. My problem is it wont open enough. I got it
open 6 inches. Now I am thinking maybe it is the top rad hose that is
holding it closed. Tomorrow a.m. I am going to remove the air to air
cooler tube and hose on the LH side. Then MAYBE I can undo the top rad
hose. If not I will cut that baby ( silicone hose!!) From what little I
can see it appears to be about a 8 inch hose with a metal elbow and
then more hose. That would not allow much movement. Anyone who would
tackle a roadside repair involving swinging the rad is crazy. I
undertsand the 86 and older units are much easier.
