Hi all.

I have the radiator at off and at the shop. It is pretty beat up and rusty.

The fellow suggested I might look for a new radiator in case it is more cost effective.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Call an AGCO dealership and ask if a new one is available anymore and if so, how many $$$$$  ???    My guess is new ones aren't available, so recore yours.

They discontinued the radiator, unfortunately.

Yeah, looks like a recore is going to have to happen.

Thanks for the help!

I'm good with it. Radiator fellow is a little worried about the rust.

We'll see what he finds out.

Thanks again.

After cleaning the radiator the bottom tank is good and rusted.The shops I've been to are hesitant to deal with that tank. I found a radiator builder, but it's aluminum for race cars. $$$...

Agco stopped making the radiator. I am having a hard time finding after market.

Any ideas for looking for a salvage one?

Maybe something else I'm not thinking of?

I dont know if one off of a F2 combine is the same.
Have no idea who you contacted but i found Griffin performance radiators. It would be aluminum but thats probably all you can get nowdays. As long as it keeps it cool i dont see how it matters what its made of

Any ideas on salvage yards?

Maybe an industrial radiator place?

I'm going to send griffin a picture tomorrow. I found a racecar radiator guy the other day that could probably build one.

Unfortunately, I'll pretty much day the $$$s because it's my tractor, and I use it.

Thanks!

Combine rad would not fit on a tractor

Combine radiators will not fit a tractor. A 6060 or 6070 radiator will fit, but I'd have to research if they are the same p/n or not. Core thickness (cooling capacity) would be the only difference.  EDIT: All three tractors have a different p/n for their radiator. They will fit, but cooling capacity is reduced on smaller rated HP engines.

Shoot! Thanks for looking.

I have some leads on a tank fabrication, but still looking for a salvage if I can.

Will aluminum be too brittle? Will it break in a tractor.

There are millions and millions of aluminum radiators running up and down the hiways that apparently don't have a problem. I think that it is not a matter of being made out of aluminum....it
is a matter of do they do quality work. Your 6080 radiator is mounted on four rubber isolators. If it is a quality build, I sure see no issues.

Great to hear.

Just to make sure I have all the necessary parts in case the radiator has been removed prior to me.

There are 2 circular rubber bumpers that the studs slide through.

Are there other parts that go under the radiator that isolates it from the frame plate steel?
