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
.
