,

am

speaking

directly

to

you

because

my

builders,

Wheel

Horse Products, Inc.,

felt

that

the

information

you'll

need

to

operate

and

maintain

me

should

come

straight

from

the

Wheel

Horse's

mouth.

(Their sense

of

humor

is

not

so hot,

but

they

sure

do

turn

out

a

mighty

fine

tractor

...

me,

that

is.)

Many

thanks

for

choosing me.

"m

flattered.

I assure

you

that

my

strength,

dependability

and

versatility

will

let

you

tackle

any

rough,

tough

job

around

your

grounds.

•

One

thing

we

"gotta"

get

settled

right

off

the

bat.

I

can't

feed

myself

so it's

up

to

you

to

supply

the

petroleum

products I require.

Actually,

I

need

very

little

attention,

and

if

you

provide

food,

shelter

and

doctor's care,

I'll

work

long

hours each

day

for

many

years

to

come.

To

protect

me

during

shipment,

I

arrived

at

your

dealer's

store

neat-

ly

and

completely

packed

into

one

sturdy

shipping

carton.

Your

dealer

has

probably

assembled

me

for

you.

If

not,

I

am

very

easy

to

set

up.

Following

is

a check list

of

my

parts

included

in

the

carton

unassembled

(to

make

a

smaller

and

more

compact

shipping

package),

which

must

be

installed

in

their

proper

places:

LET'S

GET

OILED!

Important:

There

is

no oil in

the

crank

case

of

my

engine

when

shipped

from

the

factory.

Before

starting

my

engine

be sure to

fill

my

crank

case

and

air-

cleaner

to

the

level

indicated

with

the

recommended

lubri-

cant, specified in

the

engine

manua

I.

Fur-

ther

instructions

per-

taining

to

my

engine,

its care

and

lubrica-

tion

are

contained

in

the

engine

manual.

SHOOT

THE

JU

ICE

TO

ME,

BRUCE!

You

had

better

read

these instructions

carefully,

Boss!

To insure a

longer

useful

life

for

me,

remember

that

I

require

the

same

type

of

proper

lubrication

as

the

family

automobile.

Refer

to

the

exploded

view

for

the

location

of

my

seven high-pressure grease

fittings,

and

www.MyWheelHorse.com

lubricate

each

grease

fitting

with

regular

pressure

gun

lubricant

approximately

every

eight

to

ten hours

of

operation.

Lubricate

all

the

rest

of

my

working

parts

periodically

with

light

oil

to

keep

my

joints

from

squeak-

ing.

You

don't

want

me

to

get

arthritis!

My

automotive-

type

sliding

gear

transmission,

reduction

gears

and

dif-

ferential

fit

compactly

into

one

oil-tight

case

and

all

of

my

gears

operate

in

an

oil

bath.

Oil

was

put

into

my

transmission

at

the

factory

before

it

was

tested

under

power

in

all

four

working

gears

and

this

oil

was

not

removed.

However,

do

not

attempt

to

operate

me

with-

out

at

least checking

the

oil

level in

my

transmission.

Loss

of

oil

might

occur

due

to

improper

handling

in

shipping.

Check

the

oil-level

in

my

transmission

by

removing

my

oil

check-plug,

located

on

the

right

side

of

the

transmission

just

below

the

axle,

making

sure

that

the

oil

is

up

to

this level.

If

necessary,

remove

filler

plug

(located on

top

of

the

transmission)

and

add

S.A.E.

No.

90

Gear

Lube. Check

oil

level

after

each

25

hours

of

operation.

My

belt-idler

is

a

grease

sealed

ball-bearing

and

requires

no

further

lubrication.

My

front

tires

have

been

filled

with

liquid

anti-freeze

ballast

at

the

factory

to

provide

additional

weight

in

my

front

end.

Do not check

the

pressure

of

my

front

wheels

as

the

ballast

contained

in

the

tires

is

harmful

to

the

ordinary

air-gauge,

and

some

ballast

will

be lost in

the

process.

My

rear

tires

should

be

inflated

to

six

to

eight

pounds

of

air-pressure.

My

rear

tires can

also

be

filled

with

a

liquid

ballast.

But this is

not

ordinarily

necessary as

the

weight

of

the

operator

adds

sufficient

weight

on

the

rear

tires

for

adequate

traction.

ALL

A

OA

D!

If

you

are

sure

my

engine

and

my

chassis

have

been

properly

serviced I

am

ready

to

go

to

work.

Refer

to

your

Engine Instruction

Manual

for

starting

and

running

my

engine.

Before

starting

my

engine,

make

sure

the

gear

shift

lever

is

in

the

neutral

position.

Flip

my

"On-

Off"

switch

to

the

"on"

position,

open

throttle

about

half-way

and

choke

if

the

engine

is cold

before

pulling

the

engine

over

with

my

retractable

starter.

To stop

the

engine,

simply

flip

my

"On-Off"

switch

to

the

"off"

position.

To

start

me

in

motion

depress

my

clutch

pedal

(located

on

the

left

side)

and

select

the

desired

speed

range,

(first,

second,

third

or

reverse)

by

manipulating

my

shift

stick

to

the

proper

position

as

shown

by

the

shift

instructions

printed

on

the

rear

of

the

hood.

My

gear

shift

lever

is

located

just

forward

of

my

seat. Do not

force

my

shift

lever

if

gears

do

not

immediately

mesh.

(Quickly

throw

clutch in

and

out,

then

shift

gears

again.)

Release

my

clutch

slowly

and

smoothly

to

avoid

jerky

starts. (I

don't

want

to

be

a

jerk!) Do

not

shift

my

gears

while

I

am

in

motion

without

depressing

my

clutch.

When

you

depress

my

clutch

pedal,

my

belt-idler

is

released

from

my

belt,

so

that

my

belt

cannot

drive.

When

my

clutch

pedal

is

released,

spring

LET'S

aO,JOE!

tension forces

my

belt

idler

down

on

my

belt

with

the

correct

amount

of

belt

tension

always

being

maintained.

I

am

unique

in

that

my

clutch

pedal

also

operates

my

brakes

when

it

is

depressed

all

the

way.

My

brake band,

located

on

the

left

side

of

my

transmission,

brakes

the

transmission,

which

in

turn

brakes

both

wheels.

Adjust

the

nuts

on

my

brake

rod

so

that,

when

you

depress

my

clutch

pedal,

my

brake

band

tightens

around

my

brake

drum,

just

before

my

idler

pulley

hits

the

top

of

my

belt

guard.

This

clutch-brake

pedal

combination

makes

it

very

simple

to

shift

gears

on

a

hillside

without

clashing

gears.

It

is

not

necessary

to

use

my

brakes

while

going

down

a

hill,

unless

you

wish

to

come

to

a

complete

stop,

because

my

gear

train

will

hold

me

back

and

keep me

from

running

away

down

the

hill.

When

leaving

me

parked

on

unlevel

ground,

leave

my

gear

shift

lever

in

the

low-gear

position.

This

will

act

as

an

emergency

brake

to

keep

me

from

rolling

away.

Give

me

the

same care

that

you

give

your

automobile

and

please,

don't

abuse

me

by

improper

handling.

Keep

me

sheltered

from

the

weather

when

not

in

use,

and

it's a

good

idea

to

visit

your

Wheel

Horse

dealer

from

time

to

time,

and

have

him

give

me a

thorough

checkup

for

longer

tractor

life

and

better

performance.

Sincerely yours,

YOUR WHE.EL-HORSE

DEALER
