Radiator shim
Well, i went to put the hood on this weekend, and the new radiator is siting back toward the engine to much to allow the hood to fit on. I was wondering what you guys thought about a shim of some sort.. (I got the hood on, but i had to pull the radiator forward, and then the hood would go on.. personally don't like it that way. ) Thanks for all the great advice to come!

Radiator
My Chinese radiator sits to the back a bit, I have to "coax" it forward some to get the hood on and then it settles back in the hole, it's kind of putting some wear on the discharge tube, but appears to be OK otherwise.
The radiator also leans a lot to the left side of the tractor, so I had to shorten the hood mount bolt on that side to avoid interfering with the fins or even part of the core.

Thanks, sounds just like my problem. I agree, once the hood is on, it's fine. So i guess i'll just leave it alone! Thanks
If there is metal parts rubbing put a piece of rubber cut from an innertube etc. between the rubbing parts. Might help save a future problem.

I can't help but wonder, is the lower radiator/steering gear housing flat
I have seen where the casting sustained some freeze damage, not cracks but bulging of the front of the casting. Placing a radiator on one like this could be part of the problem. Also the cork gasket could be compressed on one side more than the other.

Mine was a new radiator placed onto a new front casting with no freeze damage and a flat bearing surface, so at least in my case, the deflection was all in the off-shore radiator itself.

Why not simply re-locate the neck. Take some measurements first so you know how far to move it.
