LUBRICATION
TOUCH CONTROL SYSTEM -Continued
Draining and Filling the Reservoir -Continued
Now remove the four cap screws which
hold the strainer to the cylinder block, and
pull out the screen. Clean the strainer thor-
oughly in clean ill Hy-Tran Fluid.
Then replace the strainer and make sure
the gasket is in perfect condition. If the gasket
is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Replace the heat indicator element and
tighten the element nut sufficiently to prevent
leakage of ill Hy- Tran Fluid.
The refill capacity of the Touch-Control
system, when drained as instructed above,
is 3-1/2 U. S. pints.
Note: If it is necessary to flush the system,
use IH Hy-Tran Fluid so the necessary lubrica-
tion of the pump and control system is main-
tained without adulteration. Never use any
othe roil.

Glean the inside of hub "E", remove the old
grease from the bearings, clean them with
kerosene, and repack with IH -251 HEP grease
or equivalent #2 multi-purpose lithium grease.
3. After the system has drained completely,
replace the drain plug and fill the reservoir
to within 1/ 2-inch of the bottom of the filler
opening with IH Hy- Tran Fluid.
It is advisable to leave bearing I'F" on the
axle and clean it with a brush and kerosene.
Repack the rollers with new grease before re-
assembling the bearings.
4. Start the tractor engine and operate
it at a moderate idle speed. With the filler plug
removed, move the Touch-Control lever back
and forth 10 to 12 time s through its full range
of travel. This quickly frees the system of
trapped air. Then place the control lever in the
rearward position (toward the tractor seat) and
stop the engine.
5. Add sufficient clean fluid to the reser-
voir to bring the fluid level to within liZ-inch
of the bottom of the filler opening. Replace
and tighten the filler plug.
mspect the oil seal felt washer and gasket
and if they are not in satisfactory condition,
replace them with new ones. A dirt deflector
is also provided on the axle to prevent dirt
from entering at the inner bearing.
Reassemble the wheel and tighten nut "B"
until the wheel binds slightly, rotating the
wheel at the same time. Back the nut off one
castellation from the cotter pin hole; replace
the cotter pin and hub cap.
The capacity of a completely dry unit (when
a new or rebuilt unit is installed) is 4-1/4
U. S. pints.
GREASING THE FRONT WHEELS
Twice a year (spring and fall) remove.
clean, and repack the front wheel bearings.
Raise the front end of the tractor until the
wheel clears the ground and remove the wheel
as shown in Illust. 64. Unscrew hub cap I'A'I
(1IIust. 64A), remove the cotter pin, and remove
nut "BI' and washer "C". Remove bearing I'D'!
and place it in hub cap 'IAI! or a clean con-
tainer.
