Where you fellas get old tractor or even truck radiators done anymore. Seems most shops only know how to look up app and buy a new one. They can't seem to buy a generic core and get it into my rads or ?? The old timer who used to do this work in town is sick or maybe dead now, and quit working at the shop he was in. SO, there's lots of guys fixin' tractors, where they get theirs done?? I'm in Huntington, IN near Ft. Wayne if you can suggest anyone. The high cost of rebuilds is a given now, just can't find anyone to actually DO it and know HOW to do it. It's an ART I guess, not many present Pupils learning it. If it ain't plastic and aluminum, they don't know what you need. Kinda like the parts house young fellas that can't find a part in a paper book anymore if it's not on the "puter"! Maybe I'm gettin' too old to mess with this stuff anymore, dannnnn nnnnng it!

It's hard to believe that there is guy not to far from you that does a great job. He is not the fastest in the west but he does get it done. This is side job for him. He reorders cores not just new radiators unless they are trash. He's just outside of North Manchester, IN. The name of his company is Eel River steel and is just past the golf corse on the north side of the road. It's on state highway 114. His name is Herb. Have taken several radiators down there and very pleased with the work. Don't know about price because never compared anyone to him, but I think he is fair. Good luck and maybe you can work something out.

Jim, I go that way often, see that place. Used to be Herb's welding, thought it was gone now with fancy named place. I'll check with them. Thanks!

Funny I'm from WI, and used to go to a Herb's Welding and Driveshaft service there too.
