I took the radiator from my Oliver S 55, in to Tacoma to 112th st radiator repair yesterday, as it had a leak in it. I have used this shop, for 30 yrs, as needed, and have had good work. They called today and told me that my radiator had blown up when they were pressure testing it, and was caused by a previous repair shop, deleting the vent tube. They said that trying to recore it would cost as much, or more than buying a new radiator. When I asked how much that was, she told me $500.00, or more. I told her NO and that I would get back to them, when I digested the news. I always wanted a Oliver S 55, after my uncle bought one back in the 50's, but when has a guy spent enough on a rig, for nostalgia purposes? I had to buy a grill, or nose, a missing air cleaner, a under hood muffler a combo power steering pump-generator, and a $500. 12.4x28 tire, all for a $1000. tractor, that I still haven't got to use! THANKS for letting me blow off a little steam! Isn't it there fault that they blew it up? Should I ask that they take some responsibility?
