What to Do About
Faulty Thernostats

FAILURE TO USE thermostats and
keep them in good working condition
causes many engines to run cold and
give trouble. If thermostats have been
removed during warm weather opera
ton, they should by all means be re-
placed before operation in cool weather.
If tractor engine equipped with a
thermostat is found to warm up slowly,
the thermostat should be checked to
make sure that it is not stuck open.
One means for making a quick check
is to start a cold engine and then re-
move the radiator cap and note if
water is circulating. A good thermo-
stat stops most of the circulation until
the engine has warmed up.
Any faulty thermostat should be re-
placed. When replacing a thermostat
care should be taken to use one of the
same temperature range as the one
being replaced.

CarburetOr
CarburetOr
Adjustments

IDLING ADJUSTMENTS are fairly
easy on most tractors. In general, it
is just matter of making the adjust
ment so the motor will idle smoothly
at the desired speed.
Load mixture adjustments are more
difficult. They must be made with the
motor warm but cannot be made under
load, except belt load. Never try to
adjust tractor carburetor with the
tractor in motion. To make the adjust
ment without load it is necessary to
open the adjusting screw little at a
time about Is of a turn. Then start
the load. If it tends to stall open the
screw another Is of a turn.
Fairly good adjustment can be made
by opening the adjusting screw until
the motor accelerates without missing
when the throttle is suddenly pulled
open
Tractor carburetors do not have an
accelerating pump as automobiles do,
so they cannot be expected to have as
much accelerating ability. For loads
that require more responsive pickup
for suddenly encountered loads, a
slightly richer mixture is used.
Running a tractor with too lean a
mixture causes loss of power and high
valve temperatures, and may cause
valve burning. Too rich a mixture
wastes fuel and tends to carbon up the
motor.

Are Detergents Harmful
To Septic Tanks?

YES AND NO. If a septic tank is
large enough, ordinary amounts of
detergentS will not be harmful. In a
small septic tank, ordinary amounts
of detergents will be so concentrated
as to interfere with the bacterial action.
In large septic tanks, this same amount
of detergent will be so diluted that it
is not harmful.
If your septic tank has a capacity
of 1000 gallons or more, you should not
need to worry about using detergents.
If your septic tank is 500 gallons or
less it might be well to use detergents
Sparingly.
In a 1000 gallon or larger septic
tank, detergents, chlorine bleaching
and Sanitizing compounds, I've cleaning
compounds and soaps can all run
through the septic tank in normal
amounts even with automatic laundry
and dishwasher equipment. An electric
garbage disposer puts the heaviest load
on the system, but it can be used salts
factorily with 1000 gallon or larger
septic tank.
