P. HOUR METER
The hour meter is located on the instrument panel.
(See Figures 3 and 12.) It indicates the actual hours
of engine operation, enabling the operator to deter¬
mine without guesswork when lubrication, change of
oil or periodic inspections are necessary. It also pro¬
vides a means of computing cost of specific jobs.
The hour meter operates whenever the engine is run¬
ning or the ignition key is in the "ON" position.

R. SPEED CONTROL LEVER
NOTE
Do not rest your foot on the single brake
pedal while driving the tractor as this would

The lever is used to select any speed from a standstill
"N" position to eight miles per hour in the forward
direction and four miles per hour in the reverse direc¬
tion.
Moving the speed control lever forward provides
increased forward speed, and moving the lever rear¬
ward provides the reverse speeds. (See Figure 3.)

the operator to return to a predetermined speed.
