Hy Joiner Transit, an excellent radiator repair man once told me "If you bring me a radiator which is old and not damaged but leaking from the core or core tank connection, I'll try to repair it for up to an hour, if I do get it to stop leaking, I will not guarantee it." I asked him why, he said "If it is not damaged but leaking, the core is rotten and leaks can occur anywhere at anytime."
That is correct. When they get old they get thin and brittle. I have that with old tractor radiators. As long as their not leaking you should be good but if they do it's a 90% chance it can't be fixed.
This one will at least give me deminsions to get a new one too if I need to.....and of course if it's the right one.
