Radiator Shop Central NY

Part Time Pete · Oct 10, 2016

I'm having cooling issues with my Allis D-14. I'm thinking the radiator is getting plugged, and may need re-cored. Anybody know of a good radiator shop in central NY?
Thanks
Pete

Pete, I talked to Wilmer King and he said there is one up on 5S in Illion/Frankfort who was good. I don't recall the name Though. They are few and far between now days.

Before I would pull it out and spend a lot of $$ on it I would try this. Drain the system and then fill with Vinegar and run it a few times. Then if you can rig up a hose hook up at the block drain and drain the vinegar out and back flush it with the garden hose. I have an Oliver 77 that would over heat but once I had flushed it with vinegar and then back flushed it it has not over heated since and that was about 10 years ago

I would agree with Old, will probably clean things out and/or create a bunch of leaks.

Yep if it cleans it out and does not leak he is good to go if it leaks then it is time to pull it and have it fixed

Thanks guys - I was going to replace it five years ago when a new one was $300. I guess I shouldn't have waited - they're $550 now

More info please - use 100% store vinegar or a dilution? What about pickling vinegar. I need to do this to my tractor. Occasionally overheating.

I would use full strength 5% and not the 4% that you find at places. I think stronger is better. I know using vinagar to rust clean parts full strength 5%.

How "central" in Central NY are you?

I highly recommend BJR Radiator in Rochester NY. They were able to patch up two radiators for me and it was less than $100 each time.

I'm about 15 miles SW of ACG,(the middle of nowhere, heading for nowhere else) so the Mohawk or Utica shops would be the closest
Thanks again
