Larry Watch out for the quality of the after market radiators. I have quit using them on any of my JD stuff that is used for real work. The original tanks and cores are thicker than the after market ones. Look at how many rows of tubes are in any aftermarket radiator you look at. A cheaper radiator may have fewer rows of tubes than your original does.
I found this out on a JD 4440 about 10 years ago. The original radiator started leaking and the core was rotted an needed replaced. I bought an A&I aftermarket one. The tractor would run hot when you really pulled it hard. I had a new core put in the original and it dropped the running temperature back to what is was supposed to be.
So IRC this tractor is the one you use a lot. Mowing and plowing your garden. So the $100-150 saved with an aftermarket one would not be much when stretched over several years. My advice would be go with your original rebuilt. IF your radiator shop is a good one the radiator you get back will be much heavier than the aftermarket one. Make sure the radiator shop replaces the core with one EXACTLY like the original one. They can get cheaper ones as well. You usually get what you pay for in radiators and batteries.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
