Radiator Specialist
 ✖  |
If you've been fighting a losing battle with a stubborn car, truck or tractor radiator that constantly keeping leaking or blowing its top, get in touch with Bill Ernsting, owner-operator of Ernsting's Radiator Repair, Ellenwood, Kan.
He operates the equivalent of a "Mayo Clinic" in radiator repair and knows his stuff. If he can't fix it, chances are nobody can.
Here, for example, are typical radiator problems he routinely solves for farmers, ranchers and implement dealers throughout the U.S.:
"We're getting a lot of demand for our rebuilt feedlot special radiator," Bill told FARM SHOW. "It's for cattle feeders who use a truck to haul feed and silage and can't keep the radiator from plugging up with feed, chaff, dirt and other debris. "The trucks overheat, often ruining the engine." To solve the problem, they send Bill the original truck radiator. He rebuilds it, putting in a new core with wider openings which trash and debris can blow through.
Bill notes that some Deere tractors have a habit of "blowing out the top radiator tank". The farmer or dealer sends us the disabled radiator. We've developed a standard resoldering and renovation process that costs right at $60. We also get a lot of radiators from an older series of Allis Chalmers tractors that tend to overheat on days when it gets over 95? F. We rebuild them to get more cooling capacity."
Bill figures he's turned about 1800 guaranteed radiator repair jobs since he set up shop. So far, only two have come back, both to have a couple of leaky seams resoldered.
"The secret is in the soldering - using the right kind, the right equipment and knowing how to use it. Its quite a trick to solder in one place and not slip or melt the solder 1!4 in. away," he points out.
Another key service Bill provides is fast turn-around on rush jobs. "If a badly needed truck or tractor is down because of radiator problems, we suggest that the dealer or farmer call so we can order out whatever special core or other parts might be needed. By the time the radiator gets here, we'll then have the parts to fix it and can get right to work on it."
