Coolant Loss in 2 Mowings

[Oldtoad]

Lost coolant while operating at PTO speeds past 2 days.
Radiator is corroded, seepage near the bottom.
Radiator has brass top, most likely original, 36 or so years old, 800 hours.
Going to do the replacement/repair cost quest. $165 for a new aluminum one, $250 for brass tank.
Suggestions please.

That seems to be a very fair price for a replacement radiator. I think you should consider replacing the upper & lower radiator hoses also.

Thanks Oosik.
Found one on fleaBay, $129 free shipping, top rated plus seller, ordered.
Hoses were replaced 6 years ago, going to check them all, still need a cap.

Yes, found something similar.
Bubbles that eat engines.
Ordered belt & hoses from Yesterdays Tractor Co.
