LUBRICATION GUIDE
The life of any machine depends upon the care it is given.
Proper lubrication 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.
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.
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
lubrication fittings should be oiled daily with a good
grade of lubricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use it liberally. Worn parts can be
expensive to replace.
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 multipurpose
lithium grease) sufficient to
flush out the old grease and
dirt. Lubricate at hourly in¬
tervals indicated on symbols.
Dipstick, check engine oil
before each use.

—Before Each Use
Check the oil (with the engine stopped) and add sufficient new oil to
bring it to the "FULL” mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. Do not
operate the engine if the oil level is below the "LOW" mark on the
dipstick.
—After Every 10 Hours of Operation
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
NOTE: After the first 10 hours only, remove the transmission oil filter
and replace with a new filter. Refer to "MAINTENANCE." Change
the transmission oil filter after 50 hours and every 100 hours of
operation thereafter.
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the front axle to reach the
grease fitting.
