A garage mechanic does not take the time to measure out a 50/50 mix. Manufacturers have guidelines as to how much each engine should have. Example: Ford considers that an engine should have 1 quart of 100% antifreeze per cylinder of the engine. Given that the engine I worked on was pretty much drained out before I worked on it, I put in the recommended amount and topped it off with water. And, SO WHAT if the resulting mixture was a bit more concentrated than 50%? Who cares? This is not brain surgery or rocket science. The whole reason for anti-freeze in the first place is to protect the engine from freezing coolant.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
