Patrick: Please, cann the Mr. MacKay, Hugh will do just fine, bear in mind I've been called a lot worse. I've seen a lot of broken blocks in A, SA, 100 and 130. Folks used to claim you couldn't add antifreeze to the old thermosyphon A and SA without pre mixing. I guess likely they right if one only runs it 5 min, and probably not up to temp. I've added antifreeze to my SA many times, to bring it up to strength, but always when it was going to be worked for several hours. In my lifetime, I've had 3 - SA, 2 - 130 and a 140, and never had any problems. Now, I do live in a climate where your antifreeze has to test for -40F. Just maybe that keeps one a bit sharper than say for example folks that rarely see temps below 20F. I've had folks say to me, long after the first damaging frost, "Do you suppose I should check the antifreeze in that little farmall I have?" Poor time to be asking in my opinion, but you know the problem, guy who services his car or pickup, checked that. I never would have believed so many folks could be so careless about the little tractor they bought for yard work. I would almost bet money, that 95% of all C-113 and C-123 engines with cracked or repaired cracked blocks, happened as a result of freezing. They always break right behind the carburator. A few have happened as result of collision, but I'm betting the front axle will tell the tale on those, as it will be toast and block will be broken across the front.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
