WHEEL WEIGHTS:
HEX RECESS
Rear wheel weights (optional equipment} are very
essential for added traction. This is especially true
for attachments such as the plow, disc harrow,
leveler blade, rotary snowplow, bulldozer, etc. One
or two wheel weights can be mounted to each re ar
wheel. Except in the case ot the plow (refer to plow
attachment manual), wheel weights should be used in
pairs, one on each side. Operation with weight on one
side only wil l cause uneven tire wear, may cause the
tractor to tip and can result in improper operation of
certain attachments .

IMPORTANT BA TTER Y CARE
Proper attent ion to the battery on un i ts so equipped
is of the utmost importonc~.
The battery in your tractor is o special type, and must
hove the some attention the service station attendant
gives the battery in your cor.
The following points ore recorded . to help remind you
to provide attention to the battery and gain full ad-
vantage of the usable I ih! bui It into the battery and
ovoid costly replacements.
1. Check solution level in battery at least once each
week. Add distill ed water when required to retain
the level of 3/ 16 " over the separators. After add-
ing water, run the engine so that the generator
charge will mix the solution. Do not over fill-re-
tain 3/16" sol uti on above plates.
2. Keep the battery c leo n. Remove any collection of
grease or other substance from the top of the
battery.
3. Keep top of battery clean and dry at all times.
4. Keep battery snug in its cradle or holder.
5. Keep vent cops tight and small vent holes in caps
open.
6. If battery should become discharged or fall below
o specificgrovityof 1.225remove battery and hove
it recharged.
7. When recharging, request servic e station to SLOW
CHARGE the battery at a rate of 2 or 3 amperes.
FAST CHARGING IS HOT RECOMMENDED.
WINTER CARE
1. If unit is not us ed regularly during winter months
it shoul d be removed and stored in a cool, dry
place.
2. If unit is used only infrequently during winter
months check at least once each thirty days to be
sure o full charge is maintained.
3. A battery not fully charged can freeze, resulting
in the necessity to replace.
4. A safe rule is to charge the battery mon thly or at
least test and recharge if below 1.225 specific
gra v ity.
Please remember the nece ssity of proper winter core
for the battery. Batteries not in use for sev eral months
and not kept fully charged produce o sulphotion of
the plates which cannot be removed by rechorg ing .
Your guarantee is intended to provide you adequate
prote cti on. It does not, however, cover recharging or
damage resulting from lack of core, freezing or ino -
bil ity to perform after winter or long storage periods
wi thout proper attention.

TIRES
Keep tires inflated to 12 pounds of air in front, 8
pounds in rear. To repair o punctured tire, front wheel
may be remove d by unscrewing cap screw from front
spin dle an d sl i ding washer and fro nt whe el comple te
with tire from spindle. NOT E: Bo lt on L.H. front
wheel has L.H. tr eads. Remove rear wheel bv un-
screwing five hub bolts from wheel and hub. A local
automobil e repair station con repair tire in some man-
ner as an automobile.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
In the event your tractor is to be inoperative for per -
iods in excess of 30 days- prepare fo r storage as
outlined below:
1. Droi n go s tonk.
2. Drain carburetor by allowing engine to run out ot
gasoline. Then push in drain valve under carbur -
etor bowl to remove all gasoline from carburetor.
Evapor ating go sol ine wi II leave gum deposits if
not drained completely. These deposits make fuel
systems inope r ative resulting in o hard or non-
starting engine when again us ed.
3. Do not save or store gasoline ov er wi nter .
GENERAL
l. Just as your outomobi le needs professional mech-
anical maintenance from time to time, so does
your air cooled engine. Cleaning and adjustment
of the carburetor and periodic replacem e nt of the
spark plug and ignition points is made necessary
by NORMAL use .
2. Professional air cooled engine service is as
close as your nearest Sears Store.
3. A yearly check-up or tune-up by Sears is a good
idea to avoid breakdowns or delays---Do it each
fall, th en you ' re ready for spring . We even prepare
it for storage for you.
HOW TO START IF BATTERY IS LOW
1. The quickest and best method is to use jumper
cables from your 12 Volt automobile battery to the
tractor battery.
CAUTION: Be sure to connect jumper cobl~ from (+)
positive t erminal of automobile battery to(+) posi ti ve
terminal of tractor bat tery . Connect remaining jump er
cable to n egat ive terminals of both batteries.
If jumper cables ore not availab le , be lt guard assem-
bly and starter-generator belt con be removed from
engine. A pi~ce of rope about 3 ft. long con be used
to start engine. Tie a knot at one end of rope and a
a
piece of wood at the other end of the rope ( to use
as o handle). Wrap rope around pulley and pull rope
sharply to start engine. This method will start engine
b· ut will not charge battery. Do not att empt to install
belt with eng:ne ru nning. We advise the use of jumper
ca b les or remove and cha rge battery . If be lt has been
removed, replace belt and adjust te nsion properly.
Replace belt guard.
