Case 480E. Serial JJG0002599 Need a radiator. Will call Case in the morning, but I'm expecting them to say NLA. Options if that is the case, or if they want astronomical money for one? Thanks.
Pull it and take to a radiator shop. Let them fix or recore it.
We don't have any radiator shops left around here, the closest one in Bismarck almost requires winning the lottery to pay the bill.
Try Broken tractor?
Not yet. Figured they'd be my next call after Case
Unfortunately you will probably have to find a boneyard with one and hope it’s not too bad. I imagine this being a huge bill, which is insane. I miss our old radiator shops. I wonder if a refit with an aluminum core might be cheaper.
Actually just typed it in on google and it seems there are quite a few available on EBay used and some refits for under 500 bucks, That surprises me.
Try All States Ag Parts/Tractor parts ASAP. Just looked up 480E, New rad 341.99, quality used 327.00. Give them a gander. Couple years ago got new rads. for 580C and my "57 Ford 850, both quality built units that fit like OEM. Think even free shipping. Would highly recommend. Edit; just rechecked- not free shipping, think I got some kinda black friday free shipping deal, but still reasonably priced.
Don't know if you scored new radiator or not yet, but All States Ag Parts just sent an e-mail FREE shipping over $50 till Jan 5.
Been meaning to come back here and thank you guys. That's where I got one from. That free shipping would have saved $50.
