trouble, The age of the tractor is, of course, not indicative of how old the antifreeze might be. Nor is the colour for that matter. However it may be prudent to check/change all service items on a newly aquired machine, unless you know the service history. I do not believe antifreeze has a shelf life but will have an effective servcice life during which time it should afford optimum protection if used correctly. For antifreeze, this does not just mean it will not freeze - it has other desirable attributes - and the same principle applies for the other fluids . The machine is presumably worth more than than the cost of the fluids and service items, so these should be regarded as an investment, so there should be no question as to whether we think it should be changed. Just do it along with all other service items and you will be confident that all adjustments/service items can be correctly changed or checked at the appropriate times in the future, to keep your machine in tip top order.
