[AT] stop-leak and antifreeze

[Ralph Goff]

I'm not sure what type of leak your combine had John but I had good luck 
fixing one in my IH truck many years ago. Just ordinary hardware store epoxy 
to fix a hole I made when I accidentally drilled through the threads trying 
to remove the block drain plug in the side of the engine. Its got to be 30 
years and still holding anti freeze.
