8N radiator

Have to replace 8N radiator; any advice? Prices vary. Also one source says theirs uses "4 cooling tubes instead of (competitor's) three"; another has " curved top tank".
 
Try to find one that matches the one you have now so it fits better. Many of them out there are to tall or other such problem because there made in the land of almost never right. This site sells them not sure how good or bad they are. You do need to pull the hood and gas tank to do that job and best if you have 2 people to lift it off. The top hose is what holds the top of the radiator in position on it so the hood fits down and over it
 
Price alone is a poor consideration but I do not know how to tell the better ones from the poor ones, I think I would have the old one recored at a radiator shop although it may be more costly. I am not a fan of the replicas.
 
Can only share I bought the 3 row 'not restoration quality' for my 2N from this site and have had no problems in 2 years. Site says " The Original or Replacement Fan Shroud will not fit this radiator without some modification to the fan shroud." I don't use a shroud so fitment wasn't an issue.
 
Thanks for the reply; this site also has a 4 tube radiator at a higher price - my 8N doesn't have a shroud either; not sure if it came with one originally.
 
Not sure if anyone is still checking this thread. Took some time to search google for this. I bought the non-restoration quality radiator from this site. Is it Chinese made, or made elsewhere? And the quality is good otherwise? I opted to get a new radiator, new hoses, etc and I'll probably try to get the stock radiator fixed as a working spare. Any other qualms about getting it to fit? I too don't have a fan shroud on my tractor.
 
As with many others who have posted, my early 8N doesn't have a shroud either. If it did it would be even harder to get at the distributor.
