We have a Cat 60 tractor (PA1550) that we're rebuilding. The radiator is missing some cooling tubes and they had shoved in some wooden plugs (both top and bottom). Hoping Olson Gaskets have the packings, but wondering if there are replacement tubes available. Could match tube size and replace without fins, but want it close to original. Anyone know of folks that work on these old tube type radiators?

There was a discussion on here years ago of a HVAC contractor that had the tubes. Thought it was on the East coast but not sure.

I looked at their website. looks like a good option. I see you have some Autopatrols. We finished rebuilding our Autopatrol 9 and about to finish our 7. We have an 11, but blew the piston and rod out the side the first time we ran it after we got it. Someone had problems with it before. After we picked up all the pieces, we noticed someone had welded on the piston and it cracked at the weld and came apart. If I recall, it's the same engine as a Cat 50 and not very common, so it sits as a static display.

I have used tubing from a air conditioner source with O rings to seal the ends
