for a deep cut by turning up on No. 17. Be sure to lock No. 17 in
desired position by lock nut to prevent variation.
Note: New plows are varnished and may not scour readily;
if
so, use turpentine or sandpaper to cut the varnish off.
Outboard wheels come as standard equipment on all Flex-Treds
and should be used in plowing, discing, harrowing, etc., where added
traction or stability is desired.

Harrows are provided with a

clogged with lumps or trash.
Cultivating
Fasten cultivator to drawbar rigidly, making sure that the two
alignment lugs fit into slots properly. Use quadrant holes to adjust
for depth of cultivation.
In using the cultivator, both pins No.6 and No.7 in drawbar
clevis should be in place, making a rigid drawbar. This prevents
uneven work and makes handling easier.
