When I asked a month or so about commercial radiator cleaning products,somebody mentioned vinegar. I drained the radiator and block on the 2-135 a week ago today and put three gallons of vinegar in it and topped it off with clean water. The antifreeze that I drained out looked like new from start to finish. I chopped with the tractor all week,then drained it out this morning. The stuff from the radiator was kind of black,more so at the start than the end,but the stuff from the drain plug in the block looked like thin used oil. I stuck a hose in the radiator and flushed it for 15 minutes or so until it looked fairly clear,then I filled it with water with some baking soda in it to neutralize the acid in the vinegar. I figure I'll run it for a day then drain it,flush it and put the anti freeze back in. It was running cooler than it had been. Enough so that I'm not real concerned. It didn't cool it down as much as recoring the one in the 2-105 did for that one,but good enough for now. My son said they run stuff in the race cars that keeps them cooler. Something like Water Wetter and some Purple something. He said it's best with distilled water. Said it'll bring them down 20 degrees. He said it's not as effective with a 50/50 antifreeze mix. Said about 10 degrees with that.
Gonna be interesting to see what the water looks like when I drain it again after running it a day though. I was expecting dirty water,but not black like that.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
