GET THE FARM TRACTOR
READY NOW
College Station.—T e x a a
weather during the past few
weeks may not have been the
best for outside work, but
right now is a mighty good
time to get the farm tractor
ready for the busy days ahead.
According to W. L. Ulich, ex-
tension agricultural engineer
of Texas A. & M. College, a
good place to start is on the
air cleaner of your tractor.
He says most fanners do a
good job of taking care of the
precleaner and oil cup, hut the
air cleaner itself is often neg-
lected. About 9,000 gallons
of air goes through the clean-
er for each gallon of fuel burn-
ed, and he says you can expect
a lot of dipt to lodge in the
screen and element of the
cleaner. The air cleaner should
be. removed at least twice a
year and thoroughly washed
in kerosene or a cleaning sol-
vent. When it is replaced, be
sure that all air hose connec-
tions are tight for -a leaky
hose makes the cleaner'' use-
less.
This is a good time to do a
valve grinding job, but'UIfch
says’ the valves should be re-
moved and the grinding job
should be done by a trained
mechanic who has the proper
equipment for doing this vfBtr.
The actual job of seating the
valves can be done on the
farm.
He says you’ll want to re-
move the spark plugs for a
thorough cleaning and point
adjusting job. A steel brush
will do a fair job but sand
blasting is better. Ulich says to
check your operators manual
for the correct gap setting on
the plugs. A gauge should be
used in making the • adjust--farm tractor depends
ments and a round thickness upon the care you 'give it and
accordance with the operators
manual.
The next item that should
be checked is the fuel system.
The fuel screen located on
most tractors near the sedi-
ment bowl and carburetor
should be removed and clean-
ed. The carburetor shoaM be
cleaned and adjusted. Ulich
says you’ll want to remember
that the carburetor is not a
gas plant but is a metering de-
vice, and it cannot measure
the proper mixture of air and
fuel unless properly adjusted.
He say* the motor should be
warmed to operating temper-
ature before any attempts are
made to adjust the carburetor.
There are three major ad-
justments on most traetor car-
buretors. The idle stop screw
which merely stops the throt-
tle lever at idling speed; the
idle mixtnre adjustment; and
the third is the load adjust-
ment. Consult your operators
manual on how to make the
adjustments and the final
check will come when the
tractor ia pulling field equip-
ment.
Ulich says every tractor op-
erator should be familiar with
the operators manual that goes
with the model traetor you are
operating and he adds, if you
don’t have one, better ask
your local dealer about it the
next time you see him. Ulich
concludes that the life "of your

er’s recommendations for do-
