OIL THE TRACTOR +.
VERY THOROUGH

Over so per cent of all tractor
troubles are due to incorrect lubrica-
ton. A few days ago a four-cylin-
der tractor motor was badly broken
up due to the ignorance and careless
ness of the operator.
A certain farmer borrowed the
tractor from a neighbor and he let an
iEexperiel- 81 mar operate it..
One Of the oil pipes IL the force feed
fabrication system leaked out, but the
operator neglected to fix it or TO
watch his oil guage on the crank case
and before he noticed it enough oil
was lost to allow the cylinder to get
dry. The piston stuck and the con-
Meeting rod broke in cylinder No. /.
which in turn broke the cylinder wall
and the crank case.
Due to the ignorance of this opcr-
ator, it will cost the farmer about
$500 to repair the tractor in addition
to having to do without it just at the
time when every hour of work in the
field means so much in getting the
work done at the proper time.
