Keep your eye on the new machine
for loosening bolts. Small parts are
apt to work loose during the first sea
sons use. Certain boxes or bearings
may fit too tightly. thus causing them
TO heat, while others may need tight
ening. There is nothing that will
shorten the life of farm machinery
more than the carelessness of not
keeping all nuts, screws and lugs tight.
A wrench should always be found in
connection with machines which are
in operation, and it should be used
when necessary.
