IMHO this would be a big mistake. IMHO a non stock incorrect rad and / or
butchered case mounts will substantially (-$1,000 min) depreciate the
machine to any future buyer AND will make any current owner look like a
farmer who is likely to do substandard work. Tradesmen are often judged by
the condition of their tools. These welders are selling in my area for
$4,000 +++ (well used) and IIRC a new one is >$10,000. This is a good high
quality machine with a devoted cult following and IMHO is worth
reconditioning properly.
Just my .02, YMMV
