IIIust. 37. Diagram showing where to oil the Mogul 8-16-H. P. tractor.

603 Fremont St., Middleville, Michigan 49333 and with the kind
permission of International Harvester Company, 401 North Michigan
Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60611, we will be printing a series of
interesting information from the book ‘Internal Combustion
Engines and Tractors’. Anyone having tractors will find them
very valuable and those who do not have tractors, will find the
data interesting. This second one may be of help to anyone who has
a tractor that uses this type of lubricating system, as it contains
information on the proper oiling of these tractors.)

MECHANICAL LUBRICATOR

Fill with good grade of heavy gas engine cylinder oil. Turn the
crank on the mechanical oiler 40 to 50 times when starting the
engine. This oiler is set to feed the requisite amount of oil, and
should require no further adjustment.

IMPORTANT

In cool or cold weather the oil in lubricator tank must be
warmed, as it will not flow readily unless of the right
temperature.

G

TRANSMISSION

In warm weather, use heavy oil such as ‘600’
transmission or Polarine transmission oil; in cold weather, use a
good light oil.

S

GOVERNOR

Cylinder oil in governor should cover shoe.

M

MAGNETO

Oil magneto bearings once a week with sewing machine or cream
separator oil
