 LUBE FITTINGS-Some may have been left off, and every last one is necessary.
Besides, a check-over with the LO and TM in your hand is a fine way to find
out how this tractor is put together. Be sure you feel into the hard-to-reach
spots. Some fittings you can't see, but you can touch 'em, like the one on the
bottom of the universal coupler.
 If any fittings have been left off, be sure they're in and used before you
make a move to get power up and work done. /

S HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR-Fluid, 125
 gallons of it, should have been ship-
 ped in the tank. Make sure there's
 no water in the bottom, like by
 having support take samples. If
 you're where you can watch, be
 around to see that dipstick test to
 tell if the tank's full.

 11 BRAKE FLUID-There are 4 reser-
 voirs, and all have to be up to snuff.
 Just cupping fluid to the bottom of
 the inlet is right-no use running
 over and dripping. Look at items
 26 and 30, LO 5-2420-206-15-2,
 and pages 37 and 38 of TM 5-
 2420-206-15, for all-season lube
 and hydraulic oil dope. If you have
 to use the Interim TM, you can still
 look the points and lubes up by
 name.

 j RADIATOR-Filled
 with clean water or
 coolant.
 L TIRES- Take 45
 PSI, but for long
 trips on hard-top
 roads, make it 50
 PSI. For work in
 deep sand, 30 PSI
 is best, but change
 back for highway
 runs.

 SCRANKCASE-Be
 sure all 9 gallons
 are at muster.

0 STEERING LOCK LINKS
-Both have to be
off before you move
a peg. But no chuck-
ing them away, be-
cause they are per-
manent equipment.

1 CYLINDER CONNECTING
RODS-Heavy grease
has to be all off. Eyeball
the lift, steering, and
tilt cylinder connecting
rods. Clean hydraulic
oil, just a touch on the
plungers, you'll use to
coat the rods.
