[AJD] anti freeze

[Bill Brueck]

I collect water out of the air conditioner and keep that to use in the
radiators of vehicles and tractors.  I expect rain water collected and
allowed to settle would be good, too.

When growing up in central Iowa in the 50's we couldn't keep head gaskets in
the new G Dad had bought.  Something about the water there ate head gaskets.
Deere soon came out with a different gasket material and that's the last we
had trouble with that.

To add another thought here, I was told by the radiator people that if you
mix antifreeze with tap water you are heading for trouble in the future due
to the dissolved minerals in the water. I've been shown what the cores look
like after and that made a believer out of me. I buy my antifreeze pre mixed
directly from the JD dealership here.
