1720 Green Antifreeze?or?

[chopped]

Greetings I am helping a friend who had a ford 1720 model tractor.We find green color anti freeze in the unit. But with the post concerns here with 'cavitation' Im concerned that just it haveing a green colar anti freze means its correct.
Does anyone know if it can run the standsand green ?
If I remember correctly its due to a 'wet' cylinder liner?(not sure whats in the 1720)
Thanks ahead of time..:thumbsup:

If your not sure that it has DCA, add some yourself. It wouldn't hurt anything. You can pick it up at a Ford dealer. I use it in Our Poweerstroke and all our etractors.

I use WixCool #24056 cooling system treatment in my diesel tractor. My understanding is its supposed to prevent all that and its available at most parts stores if you dont have a Ford dealer handy. And yes you just use green AF and add 1/2 pt of this stuff to 2 gallons cooling system capacity.

Welcome! That is a bargain even with shipping you are right. :thumbsup:

I just checked what I paid for my last bottle @ OReillys-$6.81 and retail is $15.24, I dont pay tax but that adds $ too.

Your antifreeze for the 1720 is regular 50-50 ethylene glycol permanent antifreeze. You need no special additives. The engine is NOT a wet-sleeve cylinder engine. All small Shibaura engines in New Holland compacts use the same 50-50 mix as in cars. Anything additional is a waste of money.
