I searched and get a bunch of diffrent answers. What should I run in a tractor that my grandpa bought new and now its time to retire it and use it for show and ocasional auger use.

Also how should you flush the coolant if you cant get the engine plug out? Any recomendations on engine coolant to use?

What I do to flush a rad is drain the system and fill with vinagar, run it for about and hour then let cool. Drain it again and if yoy can back flush it with water at the block drain. You need to make an adaptor to hook up at the block drain, also remove the rad cap when doing so. Let it run that way for about an hour. I have found that vinagar works better then what you can buy and is cheaper also

If your're not going to use it in the winter, I would use 30wt oil. Do you have any idea as to what was used in it when your granddad used it?
If nondetergent oil was used in it I think I would stay with that. Detergent oil would cut
all that sludge loose and that could cause problems.

Have you tried to remove the pipe plug in the block? You can flush the radiator by removing
the lower radiator hose, that would get rid of lot
of crud in the radiator unless the tubes are block. If you're not having a cooling problem,
the tubes are probably ok. I would use a name brand antifreeze. I would try and get that plug out so you can drain the block of that old coolant
and then you would have new antifreeze in the engine and radiator. Use a 50/50 mix and I would change every 2 years. Permanent doesn't mean forever, my late father-in-law thought that's what it meant. Had to have the radiator rodded. Mopar has an antifreeze that is supposed to be good for 5 years, I've never used it since I bought a lot of other brands when it was on sale. Hal

If you know what oil Grandpa used in it, continue to use the same, short of that, a good 15-40 will work fine.
