gemini,
No, I put a water/antifreeze mixture in the radiator only, for that very reason, in order to see what was what. As I said, the cap on the overflow bottle is exceptionally tight and honestly, I couldn't get it off. It was after the first use, after adding to the radiator only, filling it to the top, that I found the overflow bottle half full. As I said, I saw no leaking from anywhere in the engine area during and after that first use of the tractor. Just found the overflow bottle half full at that point.
