tieuo tractor one uliould wntrh carefully

IIKrliliiK I'lnnv to l iiulne.
There in quite a ktutc k In hltehlni; (rae
tlun plow to an eiiRlne. The prnhlem Is
to hltrh (ho plow to thn ennlno so that
they will do the heat ponxlhlo work with
(ho iea( expense. This nienna (hat (lie
plow aliould tie ho adjusted as to Rive
(he leant wu..llile dinft.
Tho whole k ii n K ahould ho ao hltrhed
(o (ho eiiKlne as (n reduce side dinft lo
( ho inlnlmuin and make It raster for (ho
enKlno to pull tint plows and also to make
the wear and (ear on (he i-iikIiio tho least
possible. The hlteh should ho so made
that (ho engine ran he lilirhed or un
hitched with die least effort and loss
ot time, )et sufficiently strung as to leave
no danger of breaking.
The exact details of how to do these
tlilrms will depend, of course, a Kreut deal
on the particular make of the plow which
one Is iisIiik. Hi 1 11 there are certain fund
amental principle which apply in hitch
ing all plows of similar type. For In
stance, thn plows should be hitched so
that the engine will travel as closo as
it ran to tho edge of the furrow without
crushing tho land side. This nialiea It
handler for (he engine driver. It also
makes 1( easy for him (o drlvo a straight
furrow.
In (he second plare, thn sldo draft on
tho enftlno must bo kepi at n minimum.
Wo all know how hard l( Is on horses to
bo pullliiK sideways wlih one tun longer
than tho other. Wn know it will wenr
a horse out nnd give him soro shoulders
and nock quicker than n heavier load
which pulls atralKht. Side draft acta Just
tho samo way on an engine. An you In
crease tho side draft you decrease tho
total net load which tho etiRlno pulls, and
you Increase the wenr, (ear nnd dninnco
on tho engine. With a plowing outfit tho
engine la tho most expensive part and
ahould ho favored most.
Do Not Overwork Tractor.
When working to tho maximum of ca
pacity there is a tendency for your en
gine to get hot. It doesn't do an engine
nny good to get no hot thnt your cylin
der go "ping, ping." When your engine
getg this hot with a anuenklng, saueuIliiK
aound It Indicates that tho pressuro of
tho piston against (he sides of tho cylinder
is too grout. Your piston hits hecoino so
hot that It has swelled oui and your cyl
inder walls have swelled in and the
pressuro between (ho (wo hua become ab
normally high. The wear of your piston
and cylinder walls is too gnat, (ho lubri
cating oil is very apt to bum and tho
piston rings will wear still moro until In
time when the engine Is running at nor
mal temperature, (hero will be a certain
amount of leakage between piston rings
and cylinder walls and yon lose power.
So If one desires to purchase a traction
engine he should make up his mind that
ho must learu that engine thoroughly,
that he must operate It, carefully, must
examine it frequently, must make all re
pairs and adjustments Immediately. He
can rest assured thnt If he does these
things and has a good, well-built engine
It will lust him Just as long as the aver
age farm horse laslB, when working the
same time.
