The coolant additive should be able to be had at the same place you buy your oil, or any truck shop. Deisels can cavitate and cause pitting on the sleeves on the water jacket side, and after time it could spring a leak into the oil. Not sure what the addtive would be called but other guys have mentioned it on here on a regular basis. 15w40 is right for the engine. We run it in everything on the farm, including our 2 gas tractors and my truck in the summer. (it really quiets down the lifters on my truck) As long as the hydraulic oil meets the standard of deere for that tractor, it'll be fine. As to what those standards are, I have no idea because we don't run any Deere tractors, only a disk, corn planter & old Van Brunt drill. We have 2 Deere cylinders on the farm too.... Kinda a pain when a hose blows because they use the O-ring instead of a standard hose w/ pipe thread like all the other cylinders. That's why they stay mounted on their implements and don't get moved around when we need one. One stays on the plow and the other stays on the smaller 9' haybine. Wanna buy one? $100 for the yellow one and $150 for the rusted green one with the depth stop.... J/K.... We may have a few JD tips laying around though.... You may be able to buy a coolant for deisels with the additve already added, but you'd have to check the label. Diff lock is a nice thing, really kinda wish Oliver had it on their monsters like our Massey's do. Still can't complain about our 1855 though... Donovan from Wisconsin
