[AT] Cleaning out Tractor cooling system

[charlie hill]

Ralph,

I was at a friends house years ago.  Another friend came in and looked in 
the refridgerator for something cool to drink.  Someone had set a quart jar 
of white vinegar in the fridge for some reason.
The guy mistook it for a quart of water and chugged about half of it down 
before he realized his mistake.  He made a heck of a face!
