(It works with the truck and family car too.) Keep tabs on hours of tractor operation. Spark plugs should be cleaned, adjusted and checked every 100 hours; that is equal to 4,000 to 5,000 miles on your car. Dirty or fouled plugs mean wasted fuel, power loss and frequent overheating. Keep an extra set on hand to be able to switch plugs without tieing up the tractor. Then drop the dirty set off at a garage for a professional cleaning during next to town. And your trip when you change plugs use new gaskets; theyre important in preventing compression leakage. stalled tractor means real grief. Avoid trouble by remembering that your modern work horse When late summer flirts with autumn young people everywhere take to the byways for sun and sandwiches, but sometimes they dont give much thought to their chances of safe return. In these pictures, Wanda Jensen and Mary Lou Stanesic break a number of railroad safety rules Just for the photographer. In the picture at the upper left, Mary Lou, left, and Wanda shouldnt be admiring the country side as they pedal over a railroad grade crossing at the start of their outing. As employes at Union Pacific Railroads Omaha, Neb., headquarters, both girls know better. In the upper right, Mary Lou and Wanda cut pretty figures walking a rail on their way to the old fishing hole, but theyre also running the chance of turning a pretty ankle. Veteran railroaders step across rails. . Fishing is fun (lower left) but not when its the fisherman who gets caught out on a railroad bridge by a speeding train. Wanda and Mary Lou are risking the chance they may. have to join the fish in the water. On the way back (lower right) Mary Lou climbs a block signal ladder for a snapshot, but it wouldn't make a pretty picture if her foot slipped. High and narrow, these ladders are meant for experienced railroad signalmen. The best policy, advises F. B.

Keep it clean and youll keep it running advise tractor manufacturers. Your husky tractor can cope with almost anything but accumulated d u s t and grime; they can smother it, make it run rough, lose power and shorten its life. A tractor has to breathe so give both the air cleaner and oil filler cap daily attention twice a day if fields are extremely dusty. Its a simple job to service the air cleaner. If its the dry type, just disassemble and empty out accumulated dirt; if one of the oil types, clean according to instructions in the manual, then freshen with new oil. Remove any material that might have been sucked up against the air intake screen. Care of the oil filler cap is an easy but important chore. Merely dip it in a solvent dry cleaner is good to wash dust and grime off the filter screen inside. Give the battery, ignition cables and spark plugs some attention; most operators dont until trouble pops. A dirty ignition system can stop a tractor dead in its tracks especially in damp weather. Here are some ignition hints from Champion Spark Plug research engineers to avoid summer tractor complaints : Wipe off ignition cables, coil, distributor and spark plug insulators every day or two. Grease attracts dust, and dust, when damp, becomes a moist wick causing the high voltage to leak or short circuit and engines to miss, stall or fail to start.

It may be loose and slipping. An insect-clogge- d radiator core is another cause. Also make sure youre not belaboring the engine with too heavy a task too long. And speaking of labor, check your own. Riding hours on end in the hot sun without a break is as foolhardy as running the tractor endlessly without attention. A breakdown in health can bring grief too. Better to climb off when there are signs of fatigue, find some shade, sit in it and enjoy some type of refreshments. Truck drivers, factory and office people work better through periodic breaks.
