I have only re-cored two tractors thus far, A 1927 D and my 1950 AR. The D was done about 10 years ago, and the AR recently. I did not paint the D radiator, and the guy that bought it from me a few years ago wound up painting it when the tractor got finished. I was amazed at the amount of corrosion that occoured while it was stored under cover. It was a copper core. I painted the AR Core with a light coating of green mainly to preserve the core longer, and I am not worried about cooling, that AR will never work for a living as long as I own it. Sure, it may go out and plow for a few hours a couple times a year... Other than that it mostly going to be static.
I have not run across a radiator that has not had some sort of green paint on it, but who knows when it was applied... Just my two cents...

Tommy,
I just put a new core on the G I am rebuilding and plan to leave it unpainted, I think it looks great and will porvide better cooling.

I need some opinions. I have a new core to go in the radiator of my
AR. What should I do about painting it? I plan on painting the frame
pieces green and don't want to get too much paint on the fins. Should
I leave it the copper color it is? Should I paint it black like one
would come from a radiator shop? Or should I paint it green?
Also concerning the front hubs. I've seen some pictures of
reproductions where the hub was green and the rim was yellow. This
would seem likely if the tractor came down the production line with
the hubs already on it. But in several early pictures, and backed up
by the paint on the hubs, they are yellow meaning that the hub and
rim was put on at a point after the green paint booth. I plan on
masking the hubs when painting the green and then paint the hubs and
the rims yellow. Any comments? Thanks....TW
