Default Branch stuck through radiator on Sportsman

A guy here at work came to me before and asked if i could fix his 4-wheeler for him. He has an 03 Sportsman 700, and said the other day he was in the woods, and a branch jammed into his radiator, and al the AF ran out. I haven't seen it yet, But a new one is $300. Can these radiators be repaired at a radiator shop????

Any good radiator shop could repair or rebuild it or even make a new better one ... the only problem is the price vs getting a new stock one.

I almost did this same thing ditch riding last weekend.
Ran into a metal stake. lucky for me it hit that eye hole for towing and stuck there.

I was VERY lucky.

I would see what a radiator shop can do for yah. seems to me they would be much cheeper.

its a lot cheeper, or you can by one that covers the top part at 'jamhard' prevention is the best cure

Doesn't it over heat with that much of the radiator covered?

HPD has a NEW radiator for the SP600 and 700 for $150. You can find it under the "closeouts" section.
