[AT] Farmall Cub Radiator core

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

We've put on 2-3 Cub radiators in the last few years. I doubt any were US 
made, just too darned expensive. I can't recall where they were ordered 
from, may have got one from Steiner. Start looking into the condition of ALL 
you hood bolts and be prepared to have fun. There is nothing like drilling 
out the little ones that hold on the hood extension on the front end/bottom 
radiator tank. I personally don't see where a used radiator would be any 
better than a new one made in China--and for the most part I hate 
aftermarket Chinese crap that doesn't fit. Unless you KNOW the story behind 
the used radiator you are buying, you may be buying one that is 35 years 
old. Even the best quality radiators do not last forever.

Need to buy a new radiator core for a 1947/48 Farmall Cub. Anyone have a 
recommendation for a low cost
but decent quality vendor.  Prices range from $120 on up on eBay! Don't have 
a feel for quality being
sold on eBay!  If serial # is important I can retrieve that.
