amounts
specified
be-
low:
Farmall and International

1000
to

of
front

depending on
the
capacity
of
the tractor
front

TRACTOR WHEEL
WEIGHT
It
is
recommended
that the tractor
rear
wheels carry added weight
for
increased
traction.
Adding weight saves
wear
on the
tires
and also
serves
to
stabilize the trac-
tor for
plowing on rough or
hillside fields.
For
this
purpose,
liquid
such as
calcium
chloride solution can
be placed
in
the
rear
tires,
or one or two weight (available
from
your International
Harvester dealer)
may
be
bolted
on each rear wheel.
In
loose
soil
it
may
be
necessary
to
use both the
liquid
and
the
weights
to
prevent excessive tire
slippage
.
