LUBRICATION GUIDE
The life of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrica
tion 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.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the
lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.
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 lubrica¬
tion fittings should be oiled daily with a good grade of
lubricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be
expensive to replace.
Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in clean containers, and
covered to protect from dust and dirt.
Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt from grease fittings before
lubricating.
The symbols in the illustration indicate the method of
application and the hourly intervals to apply the
lubricant.
Use a pressure lubricating gun and apply
251H EP grease (or equivalent No. 2 multi-
purpose lithium grease) sufficient to flush
out the old grease and dirt. Lubricate at hourly inter¬
vals indicated on symbols.
/•
