Punched a hole in my radiator - any good videos on step by step removal? I wanted to see if I could use JB Weld if the hole isn't too big... Is there a simple way to pull just the radiator?

In my experience JB Weld does not work on radiators(the expansion/contraction). Back when I worked in a radiator shop, we work just eliminate that row, but on that small of a radiator I would not recommend it. Do you have the WSM for your tractor? Otherwise here is a link for a LX2610(kinda close). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uJtkd_6wzrhP_uyIplpSad_OnoEA7UHt/view?usp=sharing

Thanks, found the WSM and I'll give it a try myself before taking to a shop. I'm an hour away from a shop and if the hole is too big for a simple fix I'll just use a professional to repair or bite the bullet and buy a new radiator.

curious.. Kub Cda says $1000+ $130 taxes for the rad !
I assume it's an aluminum rad, so I'd take to a pro rad shop. if it's a simple 'hole' NOT a big deal to fix.
Heck, even a 'fab/weld' shop that does aluminum should be able to fix it....
Depending on the 'hole' a real good cleaning, etching, patch on top and some 'miracle adhesive' should work..only 200+-*F and 15 PSI. Probably several 'glues' on the market today.
quik chek...23 million hits of aluminum rad repair including a SPECIAL JBWELD tube of magic($20).
If tractor's used for real farming, pay the dealer(ouch), and write off the expense. If 'hobby' use, try to fix or a rad shop, a LOT cheaper than $1300 !
Old school copper was easy to fix....sigh, I miss the 'good ol days ' !
