I'm sure you know how much damage can be caused in a new or fresh engine, if it was religated to spreader duty in the fall and never allowed to really get up to temp. and never really worked. Complaints usually ocured in spring, when the tractors were hooked to tillage equipment, and didn't have the power they had when sold. Yes Borax was an abraisive, and it cut the glaze on cylinders and rings. A teaspoon full, normally did the job, in 188s, 267s and 301s Loren   [Reply]  [No Email]
