A new Cub radiator costs around $130.00. Welding the gas tank. Can be done. Remove the tank from the tractor. Rinse out with water - rinse until all traces of fuel are removed. Let the tank air dry with the sediment bowl and cap off for several days. You want to remove all of the fuel fumes. Vacuum cleaner on exhaust for several hours will speed up the drying out process. I used to teach metal shop and we (students) have welded up many gas tanks. Form a patch larger than the repair hole yet smaller then the filler opening. Put a small hole in the center of the patch. Stick a long piece of wire through the small hole in the patch, crimp the wire below the patch. Fish the wire through the filler hole and back up through the hole to be repaired. Pull the patch tight to the hole. Braze or wire weld the patch to the hole.
