Antifreeze/coolant. Wow, this is right up my
alley. I am the coolant engineer for John Deere. I
can tell you books on coolant.

Basically about 99% of all long life coolants use
2-ethylhexanoat acid as one of the OATs or organic
acid technologies. The reason for this is it is
effective corrosion protection and its cheap.

The problem is cooling system seals and gaskets
need to be designed to work with it or they
shrink, become brittle and crack. This is why so
many gasket problems came up in the early 90s when
extended life coolant came on the market.

Long life coolants don"t need to use 2-ehn to be
effective. John Deere is one of few that use other
OATs so this isn"t an issue. So I can recommend
Cool-Gard II engine coolant from you local John
Deere dealer.

If your system is older than about 2000 and not
designed to work with newer coolants like Dex-
Cool, either use the traditional coolants or look
for a long life coolant that doenst contain 2-ehn.

The good news is 2-ehn is a hazardous product. So
it must be listed on an MSDS. Most don"t advertise
the chemistry on the label, because it would
mostly confuse people anyway. It also isn"t
typically a selling point.

On the electrolysis issue, extra grounding on
things can make the issue worse. That isn"t the
answer. Believe me. Keeping a good coolant it is
about the best solution.

If you want to know more, my email is open and I
will help anyone with questions.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
