Maintenance:
The following items should be checked each time you start your tractor.
1. Gas and Oil should be full and clean - check for any leakages.
2. Grease all Zerk fittings in #10 Bearings, #22 Rear Drive Wheels, and #25 Front
Idler Wheels. (When using Tractor in unusually dusty or "gritty" conditions, always
repeat greasing every three hours.)
3. Check #33 Main Drive Belt and #34 Clutch Belts for undue wear or fraying - a sign
of possible misaligned or improperly adjusted Pulleys or allied components.
4. Check that Wing Nuts on #4 Rear Cover and #3 Hood are tight.
5. Check Track Tension: Tracks should be allowed to be as loose as working conditions
permit. Tighten if "Track-jumping" is a problem or if operating in loose gravel or snow.
6. Check Battery water level every three months.
7. Check that #42 Throttle and #43 Choke controls are able to be operated freely with-
out sever binding.
8. Give a "once over" to the complete Tractor looking for loose or misadjusted parts.
Vibration or rattling is always a sign of trouble; hence if these conditions appear,
stop the Tractor immediately and find out and correct the problem before any further
operation of Tractor.
Belt Changing:
By removing the four 1/4-20 Locknuts holding the two #26 Bearings against the
"outside" of #1AR Body Wall (and loosening the set screws in the two remaining #26
Bearings), you will be able to slide both the Upper and Lower #21 Power Shafts to the
right which will allow room at the left to slip all Belts on and off.
