CHANGING LUBRICATING OIL
FOR NEW TRACTOR
Special.attention.should.be.given.to.
lubricating. oil. for. new. tractors.. New.
parts. are. not. accustomed. to. each.
other.and.are.not.broken.in.properly..
Small. metal. grit. can. develop. in. the.
lubricating.system.as.metal.parts.begin.
to.break-in,.and.continuous.use.of.the.
contaminated.oil.can.cause.damage.
and.failure.to.the.tractor.
Therefore. you. should. change. the.
tractor’s.oil.after.the.break-in.period.
For.further.details.on.the.oil.change.
and.service.intervals,.refer.to."Main-
ternance".Section.

precautions.should.be.observed..

. You.should.not.operate.your.tractor.
at full speed for the first fifty hours
of.use.

. Avoid.sudden.starts.and.stops.


to. new. tractors. only. but. are. a. good.
practice. for. tractors. regardless. of.
their.age.
How. a. new. tractor. is. handled. and.
maintained.determines.the.life.of.the.
tractor.
New.tractors,.though.they.are.subject.
to.various.tests.before.delivery.from.the.
factory,.may.need.to.be.accustomed.to.
various.related.parts..Care.should.be.
taken to operate the tractor for the first
50.hours.at.a.slower.speed.and.avoid.
excessive.work.or.operation.until.the.
various.parts.become.‘break-in’.
The. manner. in. which. the. tractor. is.
handled.during.the.‘breaking-in’.period.
greatly.affects.the.life.of.your.tractor..
Therefore,. to. obtain. the. maximum.
performance.and.the.longest.life.of.the.
