I got dad's old M running this weekend. Hadn't been run for about 10 years, as he never needed it, and it needed a battery and starter. Anyway cleaned the tank really good, by using some advice I had seen on earlier posts about putting in some diesel fuel and nuts bolts and spinning tank (did this by strapping to the rear rim of H and driving around) Put on a brand new/rebuilt carb from yesterdays tractors, changed all fluids. Tractor ran really good and carried 55 lbs of oil pressure even when warm. What a great surprise. Anyway, dad started pressure washing the tractor getting it cleaned up for further cleaning and eventually paint. Now I've got a terrible leak of coolant from the radiator. Seems to be coming from about mid-way up and on the fan side. The pressure washer he was using is just a home-owner grade cheap briggs unit, with limited force, but i'm guessing he shot a hole in the radiator. What's my best option? I don't want to spend much money on this tractor right now, too many other projects! Should I look for a salvage radiator or try to get this one fixed at a radiator shop?
HELP!
Thanks
DJL

The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
