Finally getting around to ordering a new
radiator for Luke's 4000. New Holland
apparently gold-plates theirs. Have found
a used one for $146, a reconditioned one
(tractorpartsasap) for $163, new,
aftermarket ones for $163-$178, and a
new, aftermarket, all aluminum one for
$175. All prices include shipping.
For the difference in price, I'm leaning
towards a new one, BUT... the ads don't
say where they were made, and I still
remember the fight I had, putting a
China-made radiator in a NAA. Gping to
ask sellers about that.What about the
aluminum one? Any of you ever tried one?
Hold up ok to farm use?
 
I bought a new CNH radiator for a 68 4000 SOS about 15 years ago.

It was a good Clancy unit. Clancy was the OEM supplier to Ford in the day.

No idea what might have changed since.

A&I has been shipping clancy radiators made in Ireland?? IIRC... I can put on a new radiator for about the same price has having one repaired. And if you get one repaired, they want to put a "car" grade core in it where the tubes are staggered and overlapped. And cant clean the dirt and chaff out of them as well. What happened to the guy who used to be able to fix them the old fashion way?? These are not the paper thin aluminium cores of modern cars.
 
I bought mine new from A-i last winter for my 3600, made in the Czeck republic. Was good quality and affordable
 
I have sold a large pile of Clancy radiators supplied by A&I and made in Ireland and the Czech Republic. I can?t recall a single problem with figment or quality. The tubes and fins will be finer than the original.
 
The new, $163 one is Chinese... Luke and I both say pass on that one. Still waiting to hear from the other sellers. We're hoping for one made by Clancy.
It isn't all bad if I have to shell out a bit more for a better radiator- the more I pay for parts, the longer Luke has to work for me to pay off those parts. :)
