red or CHANGE ILTER area, either the auxiliary
filter element or both fuel filter elements
need replacement. For complete in- structions,
see pages 2 to _at_
This instrument (Illusts. 5 and 7B) indicates
when the liquid in the cooling system is at the
proper temperature for best engine performance.
The indi- cator pointer should be in the center
of the RUN range Illust. 7B) for best engine
performance.
Oil Pressure Indicator This indicator Illusts. 5
and 7C) shows whether lubricating oil is
circulating through the engine. The indicator
needle should register in the white area when
the engine is running at speeds approxi- mately
100 r.p.m. above slow idle speed. If it is not
in the white area, stop the engine immediately
and investigate the cause of the oil pressure
failure. If you are unable to find the cause, be
sure to consult your International Harvester
dealer before operating the engine.
Ammeter This instrument indicates the charging
rate of the generator or the discharge rate of
the battery. If it shows discharge
continuously, investigate the cause to avoid
completely discharging the battery and possible
damage to the generator. See pages 62 to 69 for

DESCRIPTION Before Starting Your New
tractor Never start or operate the engine without
water
Lubrication
or antifreeze in the cooling system except as
instructed
in Cold Weather Precautions oc page 48.
Tractors shipped to destination in the United
States of America, Canada and fVtexico are ftI1ed
with oi1 ia all parts before leaving the
factory. Diesel engine crankcases and fuel
injection pumps are filled with a light engine
oil. However, this is for ship- away purposes
only and is not suitable for regular service.
The original oil should be drained from the
crankcase and fuel injection pump and replaced
with the required amount of fresh oil for the
prevailing temperature. See the table or page
29. The air cleaner is filled with SAE- l0W oil
from October 15 to April 15 and SA-20 from April
15 to October 15. This oil can be used in the
air cleaner for 60 hours of operation. If
temperatures are not within the ringe specified,
drain the oil from the air cleaner and replace it
with the required amount of fresh oil having the
physical properties and proper viscosity suitable
for the prevailing temperature and type of
service. Tractors pached for export have all oil
drained from the engine crankcase, air cleaner
and injection pump. Before starting the engine
for the first time, remove the spark plugs and
put about one teaspoonful of crankcase oil into
each cylinder replace the spark plugs and crank
the engine to distribute the oil over the
cylinder walls. This assures positive
lubrication of the cylinders and pistons
immediately after start- ing and eliminates the
possibility of scoring. Lubricate the entire
tractor, using the Lubrica- tion Guide. Check
the oil levels of the engine crankcase, air
cleaner, transmission, belt pulley housing,
and all gear cases to see that they are filled
to the correct levels with oil of the proper
viscosity for the prevail- ing temperature. See
the Lubrication Guide and the Lubrication
Table or page 29.
For further information see Cooling System
(page QP). If the tractor is to be operated in
freezing temperatures (-- 32 F. or lower), see
Cold Weather Precautions on page 48.
Fuel System Fill the fuel tank (capacity 20 2
U.S. gallons). Fill the gasoline tank
(capacity approximately
8
U.S. gallon) with good-quality, clean gasoline.
Care
fully strain the gasoline and diesel fuel to be
sure they are free from foreign substances. Do
not use dirty fuel. See Diesel Fuel Oil
Specifications on page 11. Vent the entire fuel
system as described
P g 47.
To obtain best results, use the fuel for which
the tractor is designed, follow the operating
instructions given for that fuel and observe the
following pre- cautions Use clean fuel and keep
it clean. Store fuel in tanks equipped with hose
and nozzle to prevent contamination of the fuel.
The use of funnels, cans and drums is not
recommended because they are dicult to keep
clean.
Battery-to-Ground Cable Tractors shipped from the
factory with starting and lighting equipment
have the battery-to-ground cable disconnected
and taped. Therefore, before anempting to
start the engine, be sure the battery- to-ground
cable is connected to the ground.
Pneumatic Tires Before moving the tractor, check
the air pressure in the pneumatic tires and
inflate or deflate the front and rear tires to
the correct operating pressures. See the table
or page 81.
Engine Cooling System The cooling system
capacity is approximately seven U. S.
gallons. Be sure the radiator drain pipe cap
(IffosJ. 50) and crankcase water drain cock are
closed. Remove the vent plug in the side of the
thermostat housing illest. 50). Add water and
replace the plug when water appears at the vent
hole. Then fil1 the radiator to a level
approximately 2_at_ inches below the top of the
filler neck. Filling the radiator to this
level will allow for expansion of the coolant
under normal operating conditions. Use clean
water soft or rain water is recommended, as it
does not contain alkali, which forms scale
and eventually clogs the passages.
Steel Wheels If your tractor is equipped with
steel wheels, or has new wheel and 1ug
installations, it is advisable to check and
tighten the rear wheel bolts at intervals to be
sure that the lugs seat properly.
Instruments and Controls Thoroughly acquaint
yourself with all instruments and controls as
described or pages In 7.

running or extremely hot.
Cooling System Remove the radiator filler cap and
check the water level. Fill to a level
approximately 2_at_ inChes below the top of the
filler neck. Be sure to replace the radiator cap
and tighten to the stop.
Fill the fuel tank (capacity 20a U.S. gallons)
preferably at the end of each day's work. This
will force out any moisture-laden air and
prevent con- densation.
The filler caps on both fuel tanks have air
vents. These vents should be kept open at all
times to assure proper flow of the fuels. See
illest. 9.
Farmall Lift-All System Before operating the
Farmall Lift-All for the first time, check to see
that the system is filled to the proper level as
described or page 85.
SaJety first Never fill the fuel tank when the
engine is running or when near an open flame. Do
not smoke or use an oil lantern when working
around inflammable fuels. When refueling the
tractor, keep the hose nozzle or funnel and
container (if used) in contact with the metal of
the fuel tank Illust. 9A) to avoid the
possibility of an electric spark igniting the
gas. Do not light matches near gasoline, as the
air within a radius of several feet is mixed with
a highly explosive vapor.
I hydraulic Remote Control ystem If your
tractor is equipped with a Hydrau!ic Remote
Control Attachment, observe the following
instructions
Connect the break-away coupling rear half to the
break-away coupling front half by giving the rear
half a light push with a small bar. Because some
force is required to latch the coupling, the
coupling design provides for use of a small bar
to obtain the necessary pressure. See illest. 10.
When connecting the break-away coupling front and
rear halves, take care to keep the coupling free
from dirt and grit. Use the dust caps furnished
with the Remote Control to help protect the
break-away coupling front half from dirt and
damage when the coupling is disconnected. Continue

ment when the Remote Control rod is moved all the
way forward, provided that the top hose on the
control valve is connected to the cylinder on the
side of the pivot pin lock pin. It will operate
in the reverse manner if the top hose is
connected to the opposite side of the
cylinder. Lay the hoses out in a straight line
behind the tractor and place the cylinder on a
clean, smooth surface. See illest. 10A. To
disconnect the Remote Control cylinder from the
tractor, press back on the break-away frame latch
and pull back on the long hoses. See illest. 10B.

diesel Fuel Oil
The best guide to follow when selecting fuel for
use in International diesel engines is the set of
fuel specifications prepared and recommended
by the builder. Most refiners now market fuel
oil designated as diesel fuel to distinguish it
from burner fuel. Al- though similar to burner
fuel, diesel fuel is usually made from the
straight-run distillates, while burner fuel may
contain sufficient quantities of the lower-
ignition, catalytic-cracked distillates to make
it un- satisfactory for use in the International
diesel engine.
Some refiners are marketing one grade of fuel for
use in both diesel and burner applications. This
fuel, when within the specifications shown below,
can be safely used. However, maintaining the
qual- ity and suitability of these fuels for
International diesel engines is definite 7 the
responsibility of the supplier.
Fuels lighter than kerosene will not give satis-
factory performance in International diesel
engines. Although some fuels meet the No. 2-D
specifications, their composition may be such
that unsatisfactory engine wear and excessive
deposits may result unless high-additive
lubricating oil is used. Knowledge of the
fuels in your area and the types of crankcase
oils required for satisfactory performance with
these fuels will avoid service problems. When in
doubt, see your International Harvester dealer.
Diesel fuel for high-speed diesel engines is now
obtainable in the U.S.A. in two grades, namely
No. 1-D (light fuel) and No. 2-D (heavy fuel).
No. 2-D fuel gives the oiost satisfactory perform-
Water and sediment will tend to clog the filters.
If water passes through them it will corrode the
pump plungers and other highly finished parts in
the pump and nozzles, thus greatly shortening
their lives. The fuel must be free from
water, sediment and residue.

Buy clean fuel and keep it clean. To reduce the
possibility of fuel contamination, store fuel in
tanks equipped with hose and nozzle. Do not use
funnels, cans and drums, because they are
difficult to keep clean. Handle the fuel as
little as possible. Always fill the engine fuel
tank at the end of each day to reduce
condensation. Drain the water trap daily.
Following these rules will pay dividends.

brake pedals together before driving the tractor
in high gear. To latch the pedals together,
engage the latch into the slot in back of the
right pedal. See Jffsr. J6. When the brake
pedals are not latched together, the latch should
rest in the slot in back of the left brake pedal.
Storting tle Tractor
On tractors equipped with steel rear wheels, the
fifth (high) speed is locked out by a lockout
screw located on top of the transmission case in
front of the gearshift lever swivel housing. Do
not remove this screw unless the tractor is
convened to pneu- matic tires. Then remove the
lockout screw and replace it with a Z8 x 'J4-
nCh cap screw.
Always engage the clutch gmtly, especially
whm going up a hill or when pulling out of
ditck.

1. Advance the engine speed control lever to a
   position where the engine operates best for the

   tractor is in motion.

Steering the Tractor The tractor is steered in
the conventional manner by means of the steering
wheel however, to make a sharp or pivot turn,
press either the right or left brake pedal,
depending on the direction in which the turn is
to be made. The brake pedals must be unlatched
so they can be operated individuaMy. Hote The
steering wheel can be reversed on the steering
