First of all - What climate are you in? North Alaska, Hawaii?
Most oils mix fairly well.
But cold climates can do with a llighter weight oil for starting in the winter.
Not so with anti-freeze.
If the plans are to keep the tractor you might want check the antifreeze color. Or just plan on draining, flushing and replacing. In general if you mix green and orange antifreeze they can form a thick, jelly-like substance that can completely stop all coolant flow which can lead to overheating.

The color of the coolant is definitely green.

So I could just go for a green antifreeze and I should be good? I was planning to drain and flush but could I just put some green coolant in it, which is also the recommended 50/50 ?

If you are going to sell the tractor I would just add some green coolant and be done with it. The new owner if he is a member of TBN is just going to go and change it all again anyways.
