I checked with the local Deere dealer and a replacement was around $1100.00. I found an aftermarket for about $675.00. I removed it and took it to the local radiator shop. They told me the lower tank has a "freeze plug" on the end that rusted. They sand blasted, cleaned, brazed and repainted the cooler for under $150.00. Needless to say, I was relieved. The foam that goes between the cooler and the after cooler degraded and had to be replaced. Deere wanted $58.00 for it. I used a window a/c insulation foam cut down using spray adhesive-worked great. I reinstalled the cooler and it works great.</p></blockquote><p></p>
