I ran something into the radiator on my 1950 8N today. My plan is to remove the radiator tomorrow so a local shop can determine if it's repairable on Monday. A couple questions:
1. Without the full pressure from the radiator, should my tractor still start?
2. The impact was relatively light but I did hit a solid steel piece. The radiator is largely in tact and doesn't seem displaced. Any chance I damaged something else and if so, what are the likely candidates?
3. Finally, if I do have to replace the radiator, any opinions on whether it's worth the extra $100 for a "restoration" quality unit?
Thanks!
