I have an old "A" John Deere, about a 1937 Model S/N after 488000 an the radiator is leaking badly. Looks like I may have to purchase a new radiator core and install it. Looks like a big job to replace the radiator. Who has done it and how difficult was it? Any good tips would be appreciated.

I have a 43 AR that I have the rad. apart on now and am ready to put it back together. What I found when I took mine apart made me sick. Mine leaked at a couple of places, good for me my core was the best thing on mine, the cast iron top tank was were most of my problem was. Unlike the earlier A's & AR's where the tanks bolt around the outside, on mine the top tank has studs that are in the water jacket itself, you talk about rust, when I took mine apart just about all the studs were rotted away, enough about mine. What I would do if I were in your shoes would be take it apart if you need a core get a core, at that time I would get the top & bottom tanks sand blasted inside then check for anymore holes, fill them with JB WELD & cover that with a good grade of primer sealer, renew the top & bottom gaskets & use a little silicone on the gaskets, get a new bolt kit & put her back together. I know it sounds like alot but when you've got it apart you might as well fix it right. John
