Radiator is not the best. will leak when it has antifreeze, but not with straight water. I don't think I can remove the radiator without twisting off those-screws-bolts that have it attached to that tube. Maybe steering tube--not sure. The radiator is attached to a tube fixture and not just sitting there like most radiators on other tractors....Is there a way to install a newer radiator and not have it attached to that fixture?????

Yes rvirgil---I see that. Not going to be able to get a 62 year old radiator off that part with those small screws holding it down. Water goes into that part under the radiator..... Any way to plumb a new radiator on top of that part and have it work???? not bolted down as it is now......
You probably could find a radiator to mount just above the original mount. Not sure the capacity would be correct for working it hard or getting the proper flow to the water pump with the hose in a different location. You may be surprised on the bolts. I removed some on a ZA radiator and they did all come loose.
Just go to your local radiator shop, they can get a new core and if you'd like can it
install it.If in doubt, my local radiator shop can do it, they're the best on antique cars, tractors, industrial. If it can be saved, they'll do that, not tell you you need one of the new cheap aluminum/plastic replacements
