140 International antifreeze

[Nail driver]

Changing antifreeze in my 140. Is there a plug to drain the engine block? If yes,where would it be?

There isn’t one. The opening out of the cooling jacket of the engine that connects through the water pump to the lower hose housing where the drain is at is low enough to drain the block sufficiently.

Oops. The answer above would be correct for any 113/123 engine up through the 130/230 tractors. It changed with the 140/240 tractors. The block has a drain, below the carburetor. It is kind of hard to miss.

Thanks for the responses. I will do it the first of next week. It's good to have a place to ask.

Oops, my apologies!

It’s also pretty easy to twist off. Probably be a good idea to oil it up a few times and do some tapping with a soft hammer. Take your time and it will come out.

I changed the antifreeze in the 140 but the freeze plug would not budge. I soaked it with liquid wrench and pecked it with a hammer for a day. No luck. I hope to have a manual on the way but a friend is coming tomorrow to help change the transmission and hydraulic oil. What oils are recommended?
