So iv known that our 4370 has been needin a new radiator for a while but this morning it developed a decent leak. As the dealers arent open today would any1 be fit to give an educated rough estimate on new price of oem and aftermarket? Also if theres quite a difference in price is there much difference in quality as the tractor only has over 3000 hours so should be here a long while yet

Is it an aluminium core? Can you find the spot where it leaks? Managed to fix a rad on my MF 8240 using fiberglass and resin, you've not much to loose.

Don't QTP source a lot of their stuff from OEM dealers anyway...? Just might take a day or three to get it.

Wouldn’t bother botching a rad if go to the bother of getting it out. Recon probably about £350-400.

I would never botch radiator… by doing so a percentage of cooling capacity is lost and it could leak again

Take it out, pressurise to find the leak, easy to do with jubilee clips and cut pieces of inner tube on the big outlets, pipe and tire valve connected to one of the small connections. Soldered copper cored rad tubes successfully a few times, especially if its impact damage on the surface .fix and test...if it doesn't work then send to a specialist or buy a new one. I was quoted £800 to recore!

If it's bad corrosion, and blocked ,it's finished, but sometimes it's impact damage from fan belts breaking up, fan bearings going, even the plastic fan shroud breaking up with age.

Recore or buy a new one.

If you cook the engine, £800 will be just the start of it! !

That’s a fair quote right enough. I just wouldn’t have the heart in it to be confident.
