Massey Ferguson 1528
2009 Massey, 1528. The water pump failed causing the fan to change angles and tear into the radiator. Can't be repaired.

Contacted Massey dealer, replacement radiator is $750 or so, just crazy.

So can I find a similiar sized radiator and try to fab up some mounts? Anyone tried this?

Take it to a radiator shop and have them replace the core.

I have, I was told it's not possible due to the plastic tanks on it.

Yup.....can't replace core if you have plastic tanks.

Look for aftermarket, dealer usually want 2-3x after market price... IF you have part number it should b easy...

Search for universal radiators and youll find a bunch. Or like others have said you can have a custom one built.
Summitracing.com has a large selection that you could look at.
