When I asked a month or so about commercial radiator cleaning products,somebody mentioned vinegar. I drained the radiator and block on the 2-135 a week ago today and put three gallons of vinegar in it and topped it off with clean water. The antifreeze that I drained out looked like new from start to finish. I chopped with the tractor all week,then drained it out this morning. The stuff from the radiator was kind of black,more so at the start than the end,but the stuff from the drain plug in the block looked like thin used oil. I stuck a hose in the radiator and flushed it for 15 minutes or so until it looked fairly clear,then I filled it with water with some baking soda in it to neutralize the acid in the vinegar. I figure I'll run it for a day then drain it,flush it and put the anti freeze back in. It was running cooler than it had been. Enough so that I'm not real concerned. It didn't cool it down as much as recoring the one in the 2-105 did for that one,but good enough for now. My son said they run stuff in the race cars that keeps them cooler. Something like Water Wetter and some Purple something. He said it's best with distilled water. Said it'll bring them down 20 degrees. He said it's not as effective with a 50/50 antifreeze mix. Said about 10 degrees with that.
Gonna be interesting to see what the water looks like when I drain it again after running it a day though. I was expecting dirty water,but not black like that.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
