One is lubri cation. For without a protecting film of oil that never fails, parts wear quickly and power is wasted. The OilPull is doubly protected by its system of Dual Lubrication. A pump, tested to work under 2000 pounds pressure, forces oil, drop by drop, to the vital bearings of the engine. From these pirts the surplus oil works down into the crank case. Here the connecting rods churn it into a heavy mist vhich com pletely envelops the interior of the engine. Other features of the OilPull which make pos sible its consistently delivered "10-Year-Service" are Triple Heat Control, Oil Cooling, etc Find out about this "proved" tractor that is growing more popular every year.
