Solder a leaking copper/brass radiator in my Minneapolis Moline Tractor

M to tractor started out leaking this hay season. I finally pulled the radiator and soldered it properly. It was a lot of work and luckily I have the time to fix it.

I’m a mechanic who was quoted 2400$ to re-core a radiator for my Clark 664 skidder, which was totally absurd considering the core is in great condition. All I needed was the top pan, a drain valve and one mounting bracket re-soldered. Your video and the knowledge you have learned from your neighbour is a godsend. You’ve given me the confidence to attempt this repair. Thank you sir! 😊

@@danjette8238 Confidence, just like WD40 and a rusted bolt. Just kidding. This radiator is working amazingly well. I use it as a primary tractor on my small horse farm.. I've baled almost 2,000 small squares just this year with NO issues.

I appreciate the positive comments. Brass radiator repair is a lost art today. Most just replace it. This tractor is going strong without a problem!
