CONTROLLED TRACTION DIFFERENTIAL The Models H & VC tractors are equipped with Con- trolled Traction Differential, Adjusting bolts (A, Fig. 4)in wheel hub (B), provides pressure against a nylon plug and sleeve around tractor axle to prevent excessive wheel slippage when tractor is being used under abnor- mally slippery conditions. The adjusting bolts (A) are adjusted at the factory to « torque of 20 ft Ibs. As the nylon sets itself through use, it may be necessary to readjust bolts (A) a few times to maintain 20 ft. Ib. torque (20 Ib. weight on wrench 1 ft. long). CAUTION — DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 30 FT. LBS. TO THE. ADJUSTING BOLTS, LUBRICATION The tractor, but not the engine, (see engine instruction book), is fully lubricated and ready lor use when re- ceived, CAUTION: CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL AT PLUG PROVIDED. LOSS OF Ol. MIGHT OCCUR DUE TO IMPROPER HANDLING IN SHIPPING. If ade tional oil is needed add SAE No. 90 oil to proper level. Excessive amount of oil may cause damage to oll secs, Thero are 4 high pressure grease fittings and 3 oil plugs cn the tractor. The grease fillings are located on the {idler pulley. the main axle housing, the gear case, and the differential housing. They are located in Fig. 3 and designated with letter (G). Add a few shots of grease approximately every 8 hours of use to all fillings. Use a general purpose semisolid grease in the grease gun supplied with the tractor. The three oil plugs are located on the transmission gear case‘and cover (F, Fig. 3). The filler plug is on the transmission case cover, the oil level plug on the rear of the transmission case, and the drain plug on the bot- tom of the transmission case. To fill transmission remove filler and oil level plugs and pour oil into filler plug opening until it rises to the oil level plug opening. (Be sure the tractor is standing level). Replace plugs and fighton securely, Add fresh oil as required. Use SAE No. 90 oil all year round in the transmission. TIRE PRESSURE For shipping purposes the tires are inflated to, approxi- mately 38 Ibs, When tracior is assembled and ready for ‘use deflate tires to 8 to 10 Ibe. of pressure, How to Order Repair Parts for Simplicity Tractors ‘The Authotized Simplicity dealer from whom. you purchased your Tractor can supply you ‘with any replacement parts you may need.

Page 4 SIMPLICITY MANUFACTURING COMPANY There are four high pressure grease fittings on the tractor, one grease fitting on the idler pulley, one on the main axle housing, one on the gear case and one housing, They are located in Fig. 3 and designated with letter (G). Grease the idler pulley ev- ery 4 to 6 hours of use. Grease the main axle housing every 12 to 15 hours of use. The gear case housing will require a fow shots of groaso every 40 to $0 hours of use. Lubricate the beating housing every 5 to 6 hours of operation with a general purpose semi-solid grease, TIRE PRESSURE For shipping purposes, tractor tires are inflated to approximately 38 Ibs. When tractor is assembled and ready for use, deflate tires to 8 to 10 Ibs. of pressure, TREAD ADJUSTMENT ‘ Above picture illustrates the position of the minimum (~ and maximum width of the tractor wheels. To obtain maximum position, remove the hub bolts and wheel from the hub, and place on opposite side of the tractor. (Tire is lug type and proper setting of tire lug is neces- sary for cleaning. Be sure tires are mounted as shown in illustration), PATENTED QUICK-HITCH All front allachments to the tractor use the patented Quick-Hitch shown above.
