CHECK WITH EVERETT BROTHERS. 740-922-3335 SPEAK TO WENDEL. I OWN 23 MM TRACTORS AND EVERETT BROTHERS HAVE NOT FAILED ME YET. THERE ARE NO NEW RADIATORS AVAILABLE FOR THE MODEL U BUT SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPLY GOOD USED UNIT OR POSSIBLY RECORED. IF DEALING WITH A RADIATOR SHOP ON YOUR OWN, BEWARE OF CHEAP CORES. THERE IS ALOT OF THEM OUT THERE. THE CALCIUM AND MINERALS IN THE WATER WILL EAT THEM TO PIECES IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. I SUGGEST A CORE FROM ACTIVE RADIATOR IN PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA. THEY MAKE NO LEAD CORES THAT THE CALCIUM AND MINERALS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM HAVE NO EFFECT ON. THEY WILL NEVER CLOG UP WITH THE WHITE STUFF. ACTIVE ALSO HAS THICKER THAN NORMAL TUBE WALL THICKNESS. THE ONLY OTHER THING YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL OF IS WHO WILL BE DOING THE RECORE JOB. A RADIATOR IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE QUALITY OF THE CORE AS WELL AS THE ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES AND EXPERIENCE OF THE REPAIRMAN. SAD BUT TRUE, ALOT OF RADIATOR SHOPS ARE AFTER THE QUICK BUCK OF SELLING NEW RADIATORS AND WHEN THEY HAVE TO DO A RECORE, THEY TEND TO GET IN A HURRY. END RESULTS, POOR WORKMANSHIP. IF YOU ARE PRICE SHOPPING, IF IT COSTS LESS THEN IT IS PROBRABLY CHEAP JUNK. TO RECORE A U RADIATOR WILL TAKE AN EXPERIENCED REPAIRMAN ABOUT 8 HOURS START TO FINISH, IF HE DOES IT CORRECTLY AND IF HE HAS LITTLE IF ANY TANK PROBLEMS. I AM NOT PULLING YOUR LEG, I WAS A RADIATOR MAN FOR 15 YEARS AND WORKED IN ONE OF THE BEST SHOPS IN MARYLAND. WE USED TO GET WORK FROM ALL OVER THE USA BECOUSE WE HAD A REPUTATION OF DOING THE JOB CORRECTLY. OUR COME BACK RATE WAS 0% ON RECORES AND ABOUT 10% ON THE SALE OF NEW UNITS. WE ALWAYS TRIED TO SELL THE BEST BUILT COMPLETE RADIATORS FROM SEVERAL MANUFACTURES AND STILL HAD A 10% COMEBACK RATE. THAT WAS WITH THE EFFORT ON MY PART TO NOT SELL THE OFFSHORE JUNK. I COULD NEVER CONTROL THE QUALITY OF A NEW COMPLETE RADIATOR BUT TOOK MUCH PRIDE IN MY RECORES, THEY NEVER CAME BACK FOR MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP PROBLEMS AS DID THE NEW ONES. THANKS BUSTER STINE.

I have priced cores at 2 different places. Both can get them and price was around 250 to 275 installed. Never did see if could get complete.
