the following limits:
48 to 72 ns. (122 to 183 cm.) with castiron wheels.

“To adjust the front track proceed as follows
Raise the froat of the tractor, unscrew and remove the clamp bolt

Remove the three nuts, washers and bolts from one extending
beam and’ move the beam to the desired seting, replace the thee
Boll, nuts and wishers and securely tighten
Repeat this with the other extending axle beam and finally set the
length of the track fod. Ensure that each extending axle beam and

five recesses at this point.
Fit the weights a follows -—
‘Assemble the five reinforcement discs onto the bolts and insert the
folts from the inside of the wheel disc. I the wheel weight only is

washers.
Should, however, ausliary weighs be required, it will be necessary
to 6t the three mounting bolts with the head in the recessed ole
provided before securing the weight (o the rear wheel disc. Assemble
the auxiliary weight to these three bolts, using the nuts and washers
