Deemston Bob Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Taking some advice from on here and started looking for the coolant filter set up for the 966. Found one local at a salvage yard. Looks good. I haven’t had the time to look and see if they are even available new. Any opinions on new vs salvage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep track of your service and use good test strips, maintaining the coolant corrosion and electrolysis protection is possible without the filter. Also recpmmend using a refractometer to check the coolant freeze protection level as that is vital to keeping the other additive levels at the proper ratios. But, people will shy away from a tractor without a filter on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksfarmdude Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 First of all its not a filter it only has conditioned pellets in it that dissolve I wouldn't put one on myself unless you wanted to give your tractor that factory look with normal maintenance and good quality coolant you'll never have trouble I use an additive in my tractor every time I change the coolant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
