    Just an idea to pick brains of anyone into vintage tractors - oil is pumping out of the small rad and guess what this part is not on any of the suppliers parts list. I thought ,as I had to recently replace waterpump, parts were easy to come by - but no not this one. anyone with suggestions - its 1977 and served me well. was the ursus or zetor based on the 165?.thanks

    Zetor or Ursus? don't think so , your probably thinking of the IMT tractors. Go to a tractor breaker. get sorted for less than the half the price, if no joy second hand, have a look at the coolers on a Massey 2640, any half decent mechanic Will be able to make up fittings to join it up.

    thanks iverjohnston - took it off and scrubbed it down - copper has been soldered before and guess what wore out . yep the patch job soo will be bringing it to company in waterford sp heat transfers and hope he can help. thing is every thing was rust and dinged and looked bad but once cleaned it up a bit it seemed fixable.

    If it can be brazed, it would be a longer lasting fix. Brazing needs a lot more heat, so be careful you don't do more harm than good.
