Yes you want to run it in the coolant for the protection of the sleeves against a couple things pitting from air bubble causing the pits to go through the sleeves and cavitation of the block around the bottom of the sleeve. Baldwin has a product for this as well as Wix does. And it does matter which one you use for the green or red antifreeze as well as the test strips. Even Baldwin says there is a difference when you ask them about it. With the number of tractors and the few hours each runs I tes them all once per year when we do our annual antifreeze check and add that at that time if they are going to be run before freezing time is at hand. The product will freeze if left not mixed into the coolant after it is poured in the reason for running the machine after adding it. I like to test things like the combine and tractors being run that fall during harvest and adjustments made then. The dry sleeve engines we still check them with the strips as well may not need to but cheap compared to blocks and engine work. I have a bottle of strips I got from Wix I got them for a lot cheaper than the Baldwin strips are about 2.00 per strip and if you are testing a dozen or more engines that adds up pretty fast. Yes it is cheap compared to engines and cheaper strips is even better. There are different strips for green antifreeze then for the red coolant. Look it up on line and read about it it is a pretty interesting read for you. And explained better than I can do it. As well as the reasoning behind it. Has to do with the organo phosphates in the coolant for green and not for the red stuff. Or vise versa.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
