I have a 1957 401 Super Diesel (SN 8106955) I went to start it today and the radiator has sprung multiple leaks. Where would I get a replacement radiator for it or what is a suitable replacement for it?

Thanks in advance,

Evening Mike,
If your not having any luck finding one, I believe you can take a taller one of the same width dimensions like the 730 or 830 and shorten it .Is the top and the bottom of the radiator appear to be in good shape? I would talk to a reputable radiator shop and allow them to walk you through the repair process. Also I contacted a friend who may chime in tonite with other possible solutions. I hope this is a good start for you . Chuck
 
Just about a year ago I purchased a new radiator for our 400 Super from Hampton Automotive in Hampton, NE $700. 402-725-3838
 
Take it to a radiator shop and they can put a new core in it for a small amount of money.

How well did it fit? Was it a "drop in replacement"? Got any part numbers? I haven't been able to find a replacement around here.
 
Well, I took it to a radiator shop and they quoted me $950 for a new core, so I went to pick it up to take it somewhere else and my radiator cap was gone. The guy asked if it was on the radiator when I brought it in? They handed me a cap from a 70's style GM radiator with a smirk on his face. Now I need a new radiator and cap!
Any help with where to find a new one is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Mike
 
Well I'm hoping to re ignite this topic. I really need a radiator for this tractor, it is used for pulling a brush mower over 5 acres and a little farming.

Thanks,
Mike
