This may sound crazy, but you can stop leaks with ground ginger. The kind you use in baking. I bought a Case DC for the loader that was on it. I had to get the tractor running so I could drive it home. I knew the radiator was empty so I brought some water along to get it home.

But the tractor always smelled like ginger when the engine warmed up.
