I needed to change the antifreeze yesterday in my 51 Ferguson TO-20, we are in Ohio, its winter here. So, I drained it out of the radiator. I filled it up with approximately a gallon and a half of straight full strength. Today I went and started her up and ran her for about 25 minutes. I imagine this would be long enough for the thermostat to open and the block water/antifreeze to mix with the radiator contents.... so when the tractor cooled I did the test thing with the antifreeze tester and it registered all the way strong up at the top for as cold as it could get so.. my question is, did I run my poor tractor long enough for the thermostat to open or not? how can I be sure?? The Ferguson manual says 10 quarts total and I put a gallon and almost a half in so that is not counting the block, I wonder if I still should throw the block heaters on just in case?

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen.

We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
