Take Care OF the Tractor.
Ignorance and carelessness are the
two greatest factors causing tractor
failures. Every operator should I'M
derstand every detail of the machine
and stop troubles before they develop.
Recently a four cylinder tractor was
damaged to the extent of over 5000,
simply because the man operating the
machine did not know that it was not
being properly fabricated. One Of the
oil pipes had leaked to such an extent
that one of the cylinders became dry,
the piston stuck and the connecting
rod broke, which in turn cracked the
cylinder wall and the crank case. OF
course, these accidents may happen
with well trained mechanics; but if a
few sigle rules are followed out much
of the expense of repair bills for trac-
tors can be eliminated.
l. Wath the oil indicating devices
and make sure that they are working
properly.
.. Use only the kind of oil recon-
mended by the manufacturers of your
tractor.
