Antifreeze Option

[mustangmarty1967]

I have a 2002 New Holland TN75 that needs a coolant flush. Rather than use the New Holland 73344306, could I use this as an option since it’s less expensive and available at the local part store.

As long as it has anticavitation additives I’d run it. Make sure you flush all the old coolant out.

I’d also recommend running distilled water for the last pass before the coolant so you get any minerals from tap water out of it, if you plan on using tap.

I learned a long time ago first hand how bad leaving tap water in the system is for radiators. So I always use distilled water now.

Only go with it if you are flushing. As AntiqueIron said use distilled water. For in the future you should get a test strip kit and add SCA additive as needed. Something for down the road. There are a lot of people who don't realize automotive anti-freeze is not the same as heavy duty diesel anti-freeze and mix it. I don't mean that you did. It's easy to get the mess someone else created though.

Hello,
Check on the specs for your model / year and check the spec on the container you plan to utilize. Not all diesel approved coolants work for all applications.

Below link is what I used in my WM60 based on the NH spec.

I called a New Holland parts place and their parts guy told me to drain it and just put in regular green glycol antifreeze.
