Effective lubrication is the most important step
toward low upkeep
cost, long life, and satisfactory
service. Without oil and grease you can ruin im-
portant working parts of your tractor in
a
very
short time.
The intervals at which the various working parts
should be checked, lubricated, serviced. or adjusted
are based on actual hours of operation as shown on
the hourmeter.
1)
Hourmeter
Use the hourmeter on the instrument panel
to determine when periodic services are
required.
3)
Lubrication and Sewice intervals
Service intervals for the individual compo-
nents and parts vary, depending upon re-
quirements. The service intervals are:
-
As
required
-
Daily or Every 10 hours
-
Every

-
Every 100 hours
-
Every
200 hours
-

When operating under unusual conditions, such as
excessive heat, cold, or dust, the tractor should be
checked and serviced at more frequent intervals.
