Radiator back from the shop

A couple weeks back I brought the radiator in to Seattle Radiator Works to have some work done.  It was a long drive but since I was going through Renton on the way there I made the most of it and met up with a former work colleague for lunch - good to see old friends.  This place is one of the few remaining radiator repair shops in the area and in addition to a good deal of industrial repairs they also do antique car (and tractor) restorations.  I highly recommend this place, the guys are very nice and super knowledgeable about everything radiator.  They've been around for 70 years.

Not impressive from the outside but a good bunch of guys that know their stuff
They cleaned it out, pressure tested it, made some needed repairs and removed the completely rusted studs at the bottom of the radiator that are used to attach it to the tractor.  They also did a bit of welding on the fan shield and then painted it.  Nice work and the bill was less than expected.

Inside the shop.  Notice the huge radiators in the back.

The finished product!
