Trucks are tested before leaving

er than the supply which means spit
ting and possible stopping OF the en-
CINE.
Changing Oils.
This is the time OF year when the
car owner needs reminding that the
oil in engine, clutch. transmission and
rear axle, should be changed. A heav-
Ter oil Is desirable for summer than
has been used in cold weather. as heat
inevitably thIns out the lubricant The
gear cases will need a heavy oil or
some special gear compound, which
some makers recommend II the
clutch runs In oil, the lubricant In
summer will require less dilution with
kerosene.
Stretched Castings.
After a casing has been long in
use. sometimes stretching develops, so
that It takes longer to initiate it. A
stretched tire should not be pumped
up too tight and incidentally II is
best to 1T such castings with inner
liners. BY this means a good many
more miles can be gotten out OF them.
Vacuum Tank Failure.
When the vacuum tank falls on the
road It is possible TO get up enough
pressure temporarily to feed the fuel.
by blowing in the main fuel line. BY
repeating this process every quarter
of a mile, enough fuel will be fed to
get the car to a garage where repairs
can be made.
Ball Check.
Many engines having = pressure
feed oiling system. q regulator Is en-
pIoyed with q ball check valve in a
housing. II this ball gets stuck and
lacks sphericity, II is difficult to re-
move It. About the best way Of get
ting Il out is to take an L-shaped tube
or rod OF q diameter slightly smaller
than the ball, place a little grease over
one end and thrust this CREASED end in
the opening. The ball will generally
stick to the grease and come out
easily.
Removing stud.
When a stud has become frozen In
place It may be removed by screwing
on two nuts and turning the lower
nut with a wrench. The upper nut acts
as a lock, while the upper one pulls
the stud around.
