I think I can sell you one for less than the welding job. Freight would probably kill the deal. Email me.

You might want to look at georgemillermachine.com. He fixed a manifold for me that looked hopeless.

Are you welding a crack that leaks or broken cast around the studs that hold it to the front of the tractor? I would arc weld it with a nickle rod or gas weld it with a cast iron rod and high temp,(not brazing flux) flux. The first thing to do is drill small holes at the end of the crack to keep it from growing after it's welded. Clean around the crack and gouge it a bit with an angle grinder on edge. If you can seperate the bottom from the radiator that would be best. Put the bottom in a large barbeque grill and heat to about 400,(you can get temperature sticks at a welding supply co.) degrees. Weld in small increments bouncing around so not to put too much heat in one spot at one time. When you are done, burry it in loose sand or wrap tight in fiberglass insulation so it cools slow and evenly.
