well we took our radiator to get flushed and checked over, turned out if was way beyond repair. the guy said it had more holes than a screen door. we found a nice replacement out of a tractor, looked to be identical. well when we got it home we found the inlet and discharge on the new radiator are a larger diamater than what was in our crawler. will this work??

It will work. Just going to be awkward when you try to hook up the hoses.

Something is fishy, no difference between tractor and crawler. You must have gotten the radiator out of a different model.
I have new radiators if need be.

I was thinking that something was fishy. I was almost for sure that it was a M model tractor. and the radiators themselves are identical in everyway other than the pipe diameters.

Yes, M and 40 use the same radiator, 420 and 440 use the same, 430 is different in the height of the neck, but it will bolt up.
