Suffer Gives Four
Steps in Winter
Tractor Operation

BOHEMIAN - Just pouring anti
freeze into the radiator does not
fully prepare the farm tractor for
winter use, says w. ). Suffer of the
rural engineering department at
Montana State college.
To really get the tractor ready for
winter, he said, four things should
be done. First, flush out the cooling
system TO rid it of scale and dirt,
then refill with a reliable, perman-
ent anti-freeze in the correct mix
ture to give protection during the
most severe weather. Second. change
the crankcase oil to the right grade
for winter operation. Third, flush
out the transmission and change to
a winter grade of lubricant. Fourth,
give the motor a good tune-up so
easy starting will be assured.
Unless all four of the jobs are
done the farm operator will not get
trouble-free service from his trac-
tor during the winter months, SUIT
ter said.
