applied to dozens of farm machines such as buzz saws feed grinders sprayers cement mixers corn pickers and hay balers of 3 to 75 miles an hour A gear ratio is also provided to give a road speed of 60 miles per hour Thus the jeep can pull heavy equipment over the highways at a rapid rate and perform light tractor jobs with speed and efficiency such as plow- plow plowIng plowing plowing Ing and harrowing Other differences between the mil mil- t s jeep and the postwar jeep are areas areas areas as follows A new combustion chamber has been designed By means of altered dimensions in the cylinder head and combustion chamber perfected in the light of the newest engineer engineer- engineering ing knowledge the power of the post postwar war jeep over the military has thus been increased A radiator shroud was added to provide more effective cooling for forthe forthe forthe the continued low-gear low driving on the farm and in other highly de demanding de- de demanding manding work This shroud in tests has effectively proved its capacity for protecting the engine operation from too much heat A larger clutch was installed Ins taIled With increased loads starting is necessarily necessarily necessarily more difficult and to provide for this the new clutch has been in In- stalled Once engaged the capacity of the clutch to transfer the full torque of the engine makes only a nominal difference but in the act of starting additional stress Is necessarily necessarily put upon it It and the change obviates any difficulties in getting setting under r way Improved Steering Steering linkage has been rede rede- signed In order to provide ease of handling and free rolling and to more safely negotiate sharp turns the cross steering arrangement has been engineered to the
