I dunno about your particular tractor but the right coolant for cars and trucks can make a difference. For example, I bought a used Toyota truck and after owning it a few years the radiator started to develop leaks. I had to replace it. I spoke about this with a friend of mine who was at the time an excellent Toyota mechanic. Other cars too but really knew Toyotas. The first thing he asked was if the coolant was green. I said it was and he told me that's why I had to buy a new radiator. Toyota products used a special red colored coolant and if the usual green colored stuff was used it would damage coolant parts in the vehicle. He told me he saw this many times. So along with the new radiator I bought coolant made for Toyotas. It was not a Toyota product but was specifically for Toyotas. And was red. I know the color is just an indicator and now folks can buy "universal" coolants, but after buying a new radiator I spend the few extra bucks and buy the Toyota specific stuff. Especially since I have 3 Toyotas.
