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.)
