I am going to be changing the antifreeze in my Farmall H and was wondering if I can use diesel engine antifreeze (Cat. brand)instead of the regular stuff (say Prestone). The Cat antifreeze is the one that when you test it with the test kit, it will turn the test strip red while regular (Prestone) won't turn the test strip at all. I am not talking about extended drain interval antifreeze. Thanks.

John: Since diesel antifreeze first came out way back when, I've never used anything else, and at one point that was 7 tractors, 4 trucks, 2 skid loaders, combine and car. 5 of the tractors and the combine were diesel, everything else was gas.

Did the same with the oil 15W-40 diesel all the way. With 7 to 10 employees at least there was only one liquid around for each compartment. That is what drove me to it. Engine life and wear kept me convinced.

I know of no reason that antifreeze for diesel engines would not be good for an H. The main difference is that there are chemicals in the diesel antifreeze to inhibit cavitation of the wet sleeve engines. Your H has dry sleeves, but the additional protection will not hurt. Just make sure that you get it mixed correctly so that it doesn’t freeze in the winter.
