Radiator and rim

TerryB Illinois · May 26, 2017

I have been looking at the options for a new radiator and rim for my 1952 8N. It looks like there a lot of options on the radiator. I would appreciate any input on which one I should buy.

I've got a aftermarket radiator sitting in my shop that is unusable junk, I sent 2 back to supplier, then told him I was sending this one back as well, he told me to keep it and refunded my money...I have bought some that did fit fairly well but have had the best luck with the ones that are labeled "Restoration Quality". They're about a hundred bucks more but I believe they are worth it. BTW...you're welcome to the repop I have if you want to try it. Brand new, never used...

Best thing with these old tractors is to keep the original parts, get them rebuilt, and avoid all the hassles with cheap aftermarket junk made and sold today. What is wrong with your old/original radiator? Barring a complete trashed out, ran the fan into it, unit, take it to your trusty local radiator shop where he will boil it out, check for and repair any bad fins and leaks, test and repaint it for probably half the cost they charge for the newer junk. There are a but a few places to trust for parts -it does matter where you buy from. The aftermarket 9 x 28 6-loop rims are sold today for average around $250...

My email should be open now.

BigDan,

How much do you want for the radiator? I might try it if mine can't be fixed.

BigDanT · May 28, 2017

Terry...you can have it for free, unless you'd like to donate a case of beer to the cause. My email is open.

I would be glad to make that donation. I can't figure out how to send you an email though.

Duh, I see the email thing now.
