Does anyone solder their radiators? The Oliver 1550 I bought last December has a new aftermarket radiator, but it has a short neck and the cap doesn't fit right because the neck is too low and rubs on the hood. I have an old radiator that's beyond repair with a long fill neck on it. I'm wondering if I can unsolder the short neck and solder the long neck onto the radiator. Last summer the overflow tube on the 550 came loose. I thought no big deal, I'll solder it back on. WRONG!!All I ended up doing was getting it too hot and the filler neck came loose. There is a lawn mower repair and radiator shop in town that I took it to. He didn't want to mess with it because he was busy with lawn mowers to fix, but finally agreed to fix it. Lawn mower repair must pay better, because he doesn't want to work on radiators very bad. Anyhow, can I replace the short neck with a used long neck??

The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
