Fingers crossed that it will be OK! It would be nice to keep the original.
Probably a hairline split in a sweated solder joint. We can hope.

CLIFFS AUTO REPAIR SWANSBORO NC

HE HAS RESTORE 1/2 DOZEN 30-50'S AUTO AND TRUCKS IF ANYONE CAN HE WILL
Not many true radiator shops left. They'll get you fixed up and back on the road in no time.
I am in love with the flat head V8 boss boss bike that Cliff's auto built.
BAD NEWS
Cliffs called radiator is just too corroded to try to fix> Dam on the outside it looks rather pristine but what do i know he is the one that fixes them and said he cant
jusr spoke to these folks https://www.championradiators.com/Wi...ator-1951-1953 and their smallest one is still full 4 3/4" to wide bracket to bracket... and the core size is the same as the bracket size on the jeep way way to wide, he said quite frankly yeah could get a custom one made but in reality it would start at 600.00 and go from there
sounds like kaiser only way to go to get a serviceable radiator groan 600.00 us dollars
Dag -nab- it.. or something like that.
Talking to the radiator like a Senior Chief or Sgt Major dressing down a stupid E6 wouldn't make it be any different, so I won't waste my breath.
Yeah, it's a kick in several places to find something like this.
If there is a bright side, you won't have a corroded radiator that WILL split out in the middle of a parade or a trip over to the base on a hot summer day.
Good steering, tight seals on the drive line and a tight radiator. You're getting close!
Guys, this pneumonia or whatever it is has flared up, my Dr wants me to go to ERE, i asked him woould i probably get admitted again he said most certainly... so be gone for a while, gone but not out
Thank you for letting us know. Best wishes from all of us here!
God speed Ira!
Do what the doctors say and don't ogle the nurses.. Too much.
Am home, lots of bad ju ju at that place..
They pulled out 2000ml of fluid out of lungs
but at home recovering
Good to hear from you. Rest easy, and we look forward to having you back on with us.
Wow you must be breathing a bit better now! 2000ml... man!
poked, prodded, stuck, no sleep, heart healthy diet. NO FLAVOR, STYLE TASTE AT ALL, FIVE DAYS IN A ROW PIECE OF DRIED CHICKEN BROWN RICE BROCCOLI.....
THIS IS WHAT I GOT, SWOLLEN LUYMP NODES IN LUNG, ANURISM, PNEUMONIA (SMALL ON AORTA) THEY EVEN SAID IT WAS NOT OF ANY CONSEQUENCE NOW.... (DR ASKED ME "DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A BULLET IN YOUR HIP") i JUST LOOKED AT HIM???? SHRAPNEL SHOULDER AND IN RIGHT THGH.
BUT AM HOME AND FEELING BETTER, GAINED 26LBS OF FLUID IN 7 DAYS But as i said recovering fast, riding bike, and walking as much as i can
Man you are so on track! The exercise is so important. Getting that blood pumping does something. You must not be allowed anywhere near the MRI machines on the chance you were carrying something magnetic inside!
My Grandma routinely refilled the men upon return from hospital stays, with BIG bowls of pasta. I think the food is so bad there to insure you won't stay long!
yeah, they feed you like that and don't realize you are probably going on a binge when you get home.
Have a ""mass"" on adrenal gland... from cat scan, what in the hell is a mass?? and what the fxxc does it mean, swolen lympn nodes also in stomach, wtf??
just not happy, thought was doing everything ok, A1C was down to normal BP usually 115/60 in fact many times they tested twice because bp so good, Oxygen always in the mid 90's weighed 10lbs less than wt i graduated from boot camp.. yeah broke my damn foot again, Dr said do you know you have a broken foot, said well, it hurt, he said it sure as hell ought to, its broken. never had flu never had vaccination for flu or pneumonia??
fuxk
oh yeah they offered to remove george (named my bullet) from hip
WANNA WORK ON MAGOO!!!! DROPPED 600.00 PLUS ON RADIATOR (GOT NEW HOSE TOO)
Listen to the DI.
The mass is probably from that San Miguel that was half formaldehyde or some other industrial waste.
This getting old and going to the doctor is a bunch of BS. Had to go for an ultrasound this morning to check out a skin cancer. Got to go to the city next Thurs to get it cut out. Not the first one.
Those of us who spent time in the sun over the years tend to develop places on our hands, arms, noses, bald heads and such that make the Dermatologist go "Hmmm ...".
There is this cute little dermatologist PA I go see that cuts a few square inches of skin off me just about every year - and for a week or so I look like I either fell off a motorcycle or I have leprosy. She will find a bump, go "Hmmm.." then gets out a little thing that looks like a scoop you use to make cantaloupe balls and takes a divot out of me. She whips in a stitch and says "it will just go away in a week or so". But does it itch first!
But, I'd rather have her look and tell me that there was nothing there than to say "If we had only caught that sooner ...".
Yeah, going to the Dr. isn't fun, but it prevents a lot of worse choices.
Let us know what you find - and scratch that dawg's ears.
I've had a few in the past but had been doing good for a long time then had to have one taken off my nose about a year and a half ago. Not a serious type but they had to take a pretty good chunk to get it all. The one now is on my neck where I have a lot more loose skin to spare. My dermatologist likes to use that nitrogen torch and she gave me some chemo crème that burns the heck out of those scaly patches.
ho,y hot radiator batman... everything been shipped hot damn
Radiator here monday!!!!
as some of you know, i am rebuilding, slowly, my spare motor to new condition. anyone got a simple angle iron box set up for having engine and tranny on stand to run?? seen some super smple photos of engines sitting on a angle iron set up.... just random thoughts
Attachment 5527
Check out some of these stands. They will need a little bit of tweaking to fit the mounts on the 134 F.

maybe this one?? heck cost of angle iron and welding would be more

I have several of those Ira. The only problem you will have is they are made to bolt to a Chevy Motor. You will have to use a few pieces of steel to adapt it to the L134. It is going to be a little to wide. I think it could be modified or a few brackets made up fairly easy. For the price, you are right. You cant buy the material for that.
well,
new radiator
new tie rod ends
new bell crank
rebuilt drag llink
new main gasket for transfer case
keeping fingers crossed, drove a little while, temp never moved 168degrees.... not too sure on alignment, pulls somewhat to the right now not much but some
health wise, who the hell knows, not fgeeling like i did before christmas at all, fXck it
seems to me in my n aive way of thinking it is hard to adjust the toe in with wt of jeep on front tires??
To prevent scarring of the tie rods with a pipe wrench, on a straight axle suspension I would put it up on stands. With all new tie rod ends, it should adjust by hand with the weight off of the wheels. Toe adjustments will not be effected by the weight being off unless your king pins are worn.
The crown of the road, and the nature of non directional bias plies, that will most likely be as good as it gets.
That is the reason I don't want to paint the 2A. Nothing says go away like rusty, jagged sheet metal.
WELL,
Scrubbed garage floor, cleaned it well, Drove Magoo for an hour, steered well, no shakes, no shimmies, no noises.. temp gauge never moved from 168degrees.
parked it in garage, went inside. This morning went out and started him up and moved to drive. Looked at floor, no gear lube anywhere, no puddles at all. guess the new gaskets and seals worked. No water anywhere. Had a spot from rear main, about hafpenny size, same size drop under rear differential right at the drain plug. front differential had a drop forming at the drain
THINK THAT IS THE BEST IT IS GOING TO BE. REAR MAIN, SHOW ME A ORIGINAL MOTOR OF THAT ERA THAT DONT GIVE OFF SOME DROPS.....
NOW FOR EMERGENCY BRAKES
Good deal! Drips are just part of the experience of having a darn near 70 year old hunk of Iron and steel. Our '46 2A leaks from the rear main, and eventually it will get fixed, but for now there is a diaper of Pigg mat that keeps the oil from dripping in the driveway.
I agree on the 70 year old vehicle that's for sure. I think the fact is these baby's were a controlled leak right from the start. It is very hard to not have ANY leaks. The rear main, tappet cover, and the front and rear pan to block interface are just a few spots that seem to be notorious on the motor. On the trans and transfer case, there are many bolts that are tapped all the way through to the lube. It is very tough to permanently seal threads like that. And as Magoo proved, the rear cap/shim pack assembly is a prime leaker' spot.
Just like an old Harley. If it stops leaking, it's low on oil.
