Caterpillar publishes no replacement or superseding number for 256-5310.
The complete radiator for the 950H and 962H is a separate number, 3498238 (Caterpillar 349-8238). Order this core when a radiator shop is transferring your tanks, and the complete unit when it is not.
Key Notes:
Part Number: 2565310 (Caterpillar reference 256-5310)
Type: Engine radiator core - core only, no tanks or frame
Dimensions: 1232 mm x 254 mm
Material: Alloy aluminium
Weight: 119.0 lbs.
Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
Application: Replaces the engine radiator core on Caterpillar 950H and 962H wheel loaders and the IT62H integrated toolcarrier
Shipping Restrictions: Ships to the lower 48 US states only
Note: Core only - tanks, side frames, hoses, cap, shroud and mounting hardware are not included. At 1232 mm long and 254 mm high this is a stacked-pack element, not a square radiator. Ships LTL freight; inspect fins and tube ends before signing for delivery.
Common Use Case or Symptoms:
Order this when an H Series loader will not hold temperature working a face on a hot day, or when the coolant element is weeping behind the swing-out cooler doors - on these machines the pack is stacked tight, so a plugged or leaking element is easy to miss until the gauge tells on it.
Why Choose Broken Tractor?
✅ Stacked Pack Element: 1232 by 254 mm - built to sit in the H Series cooling stack rather than hang as a conventional radiator.
✅ Loaders And Toolcarrier: The 950H, 962H and IT62H all take the same core.
✅ Whole Radiator Also Stocked: 349-8238 covers the same machines as a complete unit, so the repair can go either way depending on the shop.
