My 8N is in a bad way tonight. I was blading snow and the fan threw a blade into the radiator. It isn't pretty. I took off the hood and removed the radiator and fan. I checked the king pin for play and found perhaps 1/8 inch. My questions are: Is that much play or is it about normal? Is it possible to get a radiator repaired or would I be better off buying a new one?
I used to read the board and see some of the things that happened to other Ns and thought "not my baby"! Never any touble in the 4 years she's owned me. Even my wife was sad!!

You probably mean to anyway, but when you replace the fan, I'd suggest getting a new one and not using a fan from a boneyard.

At one time I drove a '51 Chevy for a work car. It threw a fan blade, so I got another from a junkyard. A couple of weeks later it threw that one, so I got another. This happened 2 or 3 times before I broke down and bought a new fan.

I'm awful slow, and it wasn't until it put a blade through the hood right after a new paint job that I learned. Old, thin, fan blades that have been laying out in the weather get metal fatigue.

I love spending other peoples money ! (-: If it were me ( and I did )I would replace the the radiator with new,and for the cost of the pin and bushing I would replace them also., The pin and bushing are'nt big money and your half way there with the hood and radiator off.

later,dave

My radiator 'eat' the fan last summer when the water pump housing broke. A new radiator cost less than having to old one re-cored.
