What is a good radiator replacement for the older SW48's

Have one that is just too rusted out to repair and looking to see if we can still get a replacement for these or if I just need to have one custom made. It has a Model 314971 by Young Radiator Company in it now.
 
Tough call to make on the rad for those ones , the location above the motor is not good , but I guess you could buy an aluminum one off e bay and move the neck (cap) to the side of the tank. Non original would be to get the right size to fit in front of the fan , then you can run without side covers and no more over heating issues. J5 Bombardier
 
Yeah, looks like I might need to go custom or order something that 'fits' and build a new mount for it.

One of my SW48's is a bit rusty but it's the one with the hydraulic plow, it's radiator is shot and we have snow, so I better get on it. Might just be lazy and swap radiators for the winter.
 
That’s what I did…..my radiator was shot, replaced with an aluminum one and made up a couple brackets.
