Radiator B2320DT

[Gemstone19]

First tractor and love it. What a tool for my mixed 10 acres. At 387 hrs I have a pinhole leak in the nylon/fiberglass radiator at the top. No damage, no heat issues, just a thin wall cheap manufacture. It’s annoying but not critical. I want to replace it with maybe a better built unit. I can’t even find Any radiator for it on line. Can anyone help? Thank you from beautiful middle of nowhere AR.

You may have to go with a custom build. Plenty of those shops around.

Still, ouch.
It’s a pin hole at the top. I’ll keep an eye on it. Not really loosing coolant it’s so tiny.
I would replace it if it was 130.00 like the one I replaced in my Xterra.

Unlikely that it's a pinhole that won't turn into a crack, especially if it's heat and stress related. If it's mechanical or impact damage, drilling and screw with a gasket (washer) may work. Otherwise keep the part number handy.

DO NOT LET IT OVERHEAT!

JB weld has worked for over 30 years on mine. Stick when bushog was used to trim along the woods. Mine is a open station and you can smell a leak. Over heating means money.

If it's accessible and not near a seam or joint, a lot of times they can be repaired. THey'll clean the hole and surrounding area, plug the inlet/outlet and then pull a vacuum on the cap, apply sealer to the hole area and let it cure. The vacuum pulls some of the sealer into the hole. That type repair, done correctly, is permanent; again depends on where it's at. Not all of them can be repaired. A good radiator repair facility can usually do it.

Other option, find a fabricator that makes radiators and have them make one that is 100% aluminum (tanks and all). Won't be cheap, though. I may look into it. Have welder, material, just need to see if I can find cores. Have done a some intercoolers in the past so it's not rocket surgery.

You could also find someone that does plastic welding and have it repaired. Just an option.

Try pulling a table spoon of ground pepper into radiator
