Had to go and look at one of these before...

...and discovered the radiator was leaking. Phoned Komatsu to enquire about a new radiator...what price do you think they quoted?, bearing in mind its prolly the same size as a large van rad, but twice as thick...

£800 + VAT ?

Hehe, we also had to replace a rad on a bigger brother to that one, a Komatsu 380...£5k they wanted!. Took it off and got it totally rebuilt for £500, no contest is it...

£3600 is hellish expensive! Its been a while since I worked in stores, but we used to supply plenty of rads for tractors and telehandlers and they were hundreds rather than thousands.

Can you not get the original reconditioned?

I'm with the egg white brigade tbh. Even if you had to put a dozen in it's still cheaper
