International Harvester Company C-2 User manual

Your new International Harvester rotary mower is designed to meet
today's exacting operating requirements. The ease of operation and
ability to adjust to field conditions lighten your work and shorten your
hours on the job.
You are urged to consult your International Harvester dealer con-
cerning unusual field conditions or special applications. Let the
experience of your dealer and the organization associated with him
serve you.
Be sure to read the instructions for Adjusting and Operating in this
manual. Check each item referred to and acquaint yourself with the
adjustments required to obtain efficient operation and maximum
trouble-free performance. Remember, an implement which is prop-
erly lubricated and adjusted saves time, labor, and fuel.
After the mowing season, thoroughly clean your implement and
inspect it. Preventive maintenance pays dividends. Your dealer has
original-equipment parts which assure proper fit and best performance.
He is able to recondition your equipment to a like new condition.
When in need of parts for the mower, always specify the mower
model and serial number, and the model of IH tractor, Fast-Hitch
or standard drawbar. The mower serial number is stamped on a
name plate riveted to the top of the mower platform on the left side.
