LUBRICATION GUIDE
The life of any machine depends upon the care it is
given. Proper lubrication is a very important part of
that care.
Be certain that all lubrication fittings are assembled in
place, using the lubrication illustrations as a guide.
Always lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it
to the field. Use a pressure-lubricating gun.
Always force the lubricant through the full length of
each bearing until it emerges at the end, carrying with
it the worn lubricant and any dirt that may have entered
the bearing.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with
lubrication fittings should be oiled daily with a good
grade of lubricating oil.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the
lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.

Lubricant is cheap. Use it liberally. Worn parts can be
expensive to replace.
