Tractor quit running a year ago and started leaking radiator fluid a couple of months ago. Can it be repaired or do I need a new radiator. If I should decide to part it out, what might it be worth? 40 hours on new rings . Good sheet metal. Tricycle front. Does not jump out of gear. Also have three bottom plow to fit it and a 3pt adapter. |

| You can take the radiator to a radiator shop and most likely they can repair it. The tractor is worth more running. Do you know why it stopped running? I have parted tractors out and it is a lot of work. The good stuff like sheet metal, gas tanks and hitch parts sell fast and then you get struck looking at what is left. There is generally a lot of interest in D15 narrow fronts. |

| No idea...tractor was overhauled and ran well for a summer then started losing power under load (if I remember correctly). I rebuilt carb and replaced condenser, etc. Looked at distributor and that's when things went south. Parked it and bought another tractor but need to get it out of the barn. |

| You have kind of the worst case situation, a tractor not-running when parked. If you want to post a picture, I am sure members will give you input on what they think the value is. You may even find someone close enough to be interested. Good Luck |

Repair shop says $650 to recore and fix tank on this radiator. Does this sound like it's in the ball park? 1961 D15 series 1 gas. |

I have this freshly recored D15 radiator I'll sell for $500 + shipping.   ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Update on Radiator project: I found a guy in English Indiana (30 minutes from Louisville) who is recoring my radiator and fixing a leaky tank for $400. He comes with good references so we'll see how this works. Says he also does a lot with antique cars. |
