Sam: When I responded to Bob, maybe I was a bit rough on rad men. However the rad man should have known what that rad was and either advised you of the change he would have to make in the new core, before he so freely spent your money. I have a gut feeling he is probably correct, in that you can't buy that core with large tubes anymore.

I don't think Michael's solution is in your best interests. First I'm not going to NS and secondly your a college student and you just cant throw away that $300. to $400. investment you have in a new rad.

I think you should first do as Mark suggested and check out the head and or head gasket. I would also check out and find a good water pump. Perhaps that is what Mike should check out for you. I'll do a bit of checking in the family tree, see who's heading east soon. I know I have a cousin going about May 1st. I wouldn't worry too much about a thermostat. There are inline thermostats you can put in upper hose. I think one item we all have to realize is that sooner or later these old thermosyphon tractors will require water pumps.

That is another subject and has a number of reasons, first and foremost, Corperate America that make huge profits building $25,000. lawn tractors off shore want all A, SA, 8N, Fergies, etc. going to the crusher. They've never been satisfied with half a loaf.
