I took the radiator off my 806 today as I needed to replace the water pump. The right side where it bolts in place was loose at the bottom and I took it to the radiator shop to get it solderd. The owner looked at it after the employee solderd it and I had paid him and he said "this radiator has been leaking along the top seam at some time. I said well it holds pressure overnight and I felt the fan and it was loose so I am changing out the pump and wanted to get this solderd. He pressures it up and finds no leaks then takes a hammer and beats on the seam and it still doesn't leak. I felt he was trying to make business. I said it is only on my extra tractor and it wil not be used hard.
I took the radiator and ran. I plan to try another radiator shop next time. I am glad I was there looking at my radiator or I probably would have been buying a core

I just punched a hole in the radiator of my Ford 4000. It has a trailer hitch on the front...I don't think I need to explain any further...Anyway the the radiator shop that tried to fix mine is a very good shop and the first thing he did was take the air hose and blow all the crud out of the fins. He explained how all the dirt and weeds and crud absorb moisture and start to corrode the core. He fixed what I damaged, but every time he put it in the pressure tester it developed 2 or 3 more leaks elsewhere. He told me it might work but I better look at getting a new one. I used the old one until my new $200 radiator came. Best price I found was from the local Ford tractor dealer. So anyway be sure to blow out the junk from your radiator and keep it happy.
