Timberwolf 150 DHB Radiator 2007

[D.G.F.S.]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have a part number or supplier for a radiator for the above machine? Mine is on its way out and I’ve been quoted around £400 from my TW dealer for a replacement but considering a mate of mine just bought a brand new radiator for his BMW engined Mini Cooper S for £49 [emoji33] how can a basic agricultural rad cost £400?! If I have to pay it then I will because it’s not worth knackering my chipper up for but I thought it would be worth asking the question.

 

Cheers

Take it to a local radiator company and they should be able to re core / re manufacture it for you for a fraction of that cost.

 

You can't really compare mass produced automotive parts to the parts in this / the plant industry unfortunately...

Cheers for the reply. If I remember correctly our local rad company folded a few years back but I will see if there’s another one close by. I just thought there may be a known supplier of this type of radiators without an arb price tag as the Kubota engine in the 150 seems fairly common on compact tractors etc but like you said perhaps not as common as a mini [emoji16]

The V1505 engine is in multiple machines yes but often the radiators are different, depends what it’s been fitted into.

I also found that out when I was given a radiator off a Jacobsen greens mower. Same engine, same number on the rad only 3 inches shorter than the TW

I’ve had a TW150 rad- re-cored a couple of times, was about £125. That was a few years ago.

€200 for a recore of Tw 190 rad last year
