(quoted from post at 18:20:13 07/16/13) I recently read that diesel engines need anti cavitation fluid added to the coolant. Does this apply to my 1973 diesel 3000? If so where can I get it? I called auto parts stores and the Case/New Holland dealer, no one knows what I'm talking about
f your owner's manual didn't call for it and the tractor didn't come from the factory with it...........then it is probably snake oil.(quoted from post at 02:20:13 07/17/13) I recently read that diesel engines need anti cavitation fluid added to the coolant.

I agree coolant conditioner isn't snake oil. I also don't see how a 3 cyl engine is safe from cavitation.
(quoted from post at 10:25:13 07/17/13) Larry,
Which model came factory equipped with a coolant filter in 1976? Do you mean 1986 by chance?
have found articles that indicate that is "worse" on sleeved engines, worse on a thin wall cast/non-sleeved than on thick wall cast. Also, that it is almost never a problem except on diesels, primarily due to the vibratory spikes resulting from spike rise of high combustion pressures.(quoted from post at 15:26:14 07/17/13)
I was just informed that cavitation is only a problem on sleeved motors.
True?

Yes, you need it. It doesn't mater how old, you should do it.
Try Napa. They have diesel coolant that has it in it. Just buy that. You are good.
Otherwise, you would worry about it.
(quoted from post at 06:25:15 07/18/13) Dealer doesn't recommend it for 3 cylinders, but it probably wouldn't hurt right?
Can I just put this in my radiator? How much?(quoted from post at 08:29:07 07/18/13) to answer the original post.

Too generic! Even if the coolant has it in it, it becomes depleted - unless it's ELC.
(quoted from post at 02:29:07 07/18/13)
SCA napa is labeled as ELC!!!!
so where is the difference?
(quoted from post at 00:34:53 07/19/13)
Did I ruffle some feathers?
Last time I try posting from my phone with autotype!
Don't try the colgate, go with aquafresh. It has a better taste, I case you end up under the tractor, with that antifreeze dripping in your face!
