FOREWORD
Your t ractor has become your partner and will amply return the investment you have
placed in it. Years of thought and experience and close contact
with farmers have re-
sulted in
the many refinements and features built into the tractor. It has been carefully
manufactured under close supervision
and careful inspection and if it is given the care
and service outlined in
this manual, years of trouble-free operation will result.
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW TRACTOR
STUDY
THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY
If you feel that you requir einformation not contained in this manual consult your deal-
er who has
the trained personnel and the required equipment to give you the service you
require. All dealers
are kept informed on the best methods of handling your tractor prob-
lems and
their mechanics have the training and experience on your tractor to give your
problems personal attention
and quick satisfaction.
Dealers
carr yample stocks of genuine parts and in turn are backed by the full facilities
of
th eCompany with Branches and Distributors conveniently located. When parts are re-
quired be
sure to give the dealer your engine and tractor serial numbers. It is suggested
that you write these in the space provided below.

It is the policy of the Company to make continuous improvements in their products, and
the Company has the right to make these changes at any time without incurring obliga-
tion to add them to
any tractor already sold.

(Prepared by the Farm Safety Committee of the Farm Equipment Institute and approv-
ed by the National
Safety Council, Incorporated.)
1. Be sure the gear shift lever is in neutral before starting the engine.
2. Always engage
the clutch gently, especially when going up a hill or pulling out of a
ditch.
3. When
driving on highways, or to and from fields, be sure that both wheels are braked
simultaneously when making an emergency stop.
4. Always ride on
seat or stand on platform of tractor. Never ride on drawbar of tractor
or drawn implement.
5. When
tractor is hitched to a stump or heavy load, always hitch to drawbar and
never take up the slack of chain with a jerk.
6. Be extra careful when working on hillsides. Watch out for holes or ditches into which
a wheel
may drop and cause tractor to overturn.
7. Always keep tractor in gear when going down steep hills or grades.
8. Always drive
tractor at speeds slow enough to insure safety, especially over rough
ground or near ditches.
9. Reduce speed before
making a turn or applying brakes. The hazard of overturning
the tractor increases four times when speed is doubled.
10. Always stop power take-off before
dismounting from tractor.
11. Never dismount from tractor when it is in motion. Wait until it stops.
12. Never
permit persons other than the dri vel' to ride on tractor when it is in opera-
tion. . .
13. Never
stand between tractor and drawn implement when hitching. Use an iron hook
to handle
drawbar.
14. Do not put on or remove belt from belt pulley while the pulley is in motion.
15. Should
motor overheat, be careful when refilling radiator.
16. Never refuel tractor while motor is running or extremely hot.
17. When
tractor is attached to a power implement be sure that all power line shielding
is in place.

CARE AND OPERATIO N
Before starting a new tractor - READ YOUR INSTRUCTION BOOK
1. Lubricate the entire tractor, ref erring to the "Lubrication' Chart" on pages 10 and 11
and check oil levels as specified on page 9. ' .
2. Check
tire inflation ref erring to instructions on tires, page 30.
3. Check cooling system
ref erring to instruct ions on pag es 13 and 19.
4. Use correct oil - ADD
ONE PINT OF ENGINE OIL FOR EVERY FIVE GAL-
LONS OF
FUEL DURING THE FIRST 100 HOURS.
5.
For a new engine, use SAE 20 above 320F., for the first season of operation.
6. CAUTION -
For the first 40 hours, work tractor to about one half .capacity. Use only
first and second gear to avoid overloading the engine.
7. Long life is
built in the modern engine and it can'best g-i ve you the service you desire
by
reading and following th einstruction as outlined in this book.
8. Always allow an eng-ine which
has been under load to idle for a few minutes before
stopping, as
this allows the circulating water to cool the cylinders, valves, etc.
Watch
the oil level carefully, and change as recommended on page 12.
9.
Ser vice the oil filter and the air cleaner as instructed on pages 17 and 18.
10.
For maximum economy use the highest transmission rspeed, and the lowest engine
speed, which will
maintain the desired speed of travel, without overload ing excess-
ively.
CLUTCH
The engine drive is
taken through a spring loaded dry disc single plate clutch and
is designed so
that it requires a minimum of attention.
CARE AND
ADJUSTMENT OF CLUTCH
It is ve ry important that free clutch pedal trav el .be maintained at from 1" to
1 %". After a new tractor has run for a short while this tra vel should be checked
and
adjustment can easily be made by means of the clevis at the front end of the
clutch rod. During- normal tractor service the driv er must watch to see that the
free travel be maintained as if it is less than this the clutch is apt to slip and be
badly damaged,
and if more than l1; ~" the clutch may not release completely when
depressed,
making shifting difficult. .
During the operation the driver should refrain from keeping his.foot on the clutch
pedal to
prevent slipping while in use.
