Bearing
in mind
that
more
efficient
traction
is secured when
tires
are
run
in
the
d
ir
ection specified on them,
the
tires
from
the
opposite wheel should be used when
tread
wit
h widths 64, 68, 80
and
84
are
used.
EXAMPLE
- To use a
tread
width of 80 inches when
the
tread
has
been
set
for
56
inches, jack up
the
rear
wheels carefully
and
block the
front
wheels to prevent
shifting, remove
the
rim
bolts,
and
the bolts holding
the
disc to the hub. Then
shift
the
tires
to
the
opposite side of the
tractor,
re-install
the
discs on
the
hub
with
the dished side out, then mount the
rims
to
the
discs with the clamp inside
the disc. TI GHTEN ALL BOLTS

S - The
drawbar
pull of a
tractor
can
be increased by adding weight to
the driving wheels. This may be accomplished by
adding
cast
iron weights to the
wheels, or by the use of liquid in
the
tire
tube
or
both
if
necessary, depending on
the type of soil.

a solution of calcium chloride is recommended. A solution of approximately
23 pounds of flaked calcium chloride to 10 Imperial gallons (12 U.S. gal.
Ions) of clean
