With the exception cf its large
concrete track, the Tractor Testing
Lab is cr.e cf the most inconssicu
c"3 features on Esst Campus. But It
cmk be one cf the most Important
forth university tnd tractor manu-, .
Lou Lc1ticus, director cf the lab,
said It v;u established in 1S20. It
"any person cr company wishing to
sell a tractor in the state of Nebraska
must have a representative moel
tested at the lab." - .
Today, the main thrust cf testing
is the verification of manufacturers'
claims about mere power, better
fuel consumption cr lever sound
levels, Leviticus said. All traders
tested at the lab must be standard
models with standard equipment,
like they would be sold to farmers.
The lab's main goal is to provide
tractor .users vdth data to compare
similar-sized tractors tested under
similar conditions, Leviticus said.
Testing isn't limited to Nebraska .
users. Nebraska's lab is the only one.
of its kind, so its test results are
published and used by tractor mer
chants worldwide.
Any time people see the phrase
"cfTidal test" in tractor advertise
ments they can be sure the tractors
were tested at Nebraska.
Manufacturers' first step to get
tractors tested is reserving a Usl
tlzt. It may take as much as 1W
years to get in, Leviticus said, tzi
the tests usually are scheduled ed
that they're complete shortly af.cr
the new modd is reSeaesd to the
market.
. Alter tne tractor goes throve
initial 12-hour "run-in" period and
' inspection, actual testing begins. It
has three parts: pewer take-off,
drawbar end sound level.
The PTO test measures the max
imum power that the tractor's
engines puts cut at a certain EPM
This test is done indoora on a preci
sion dynamometer under exact con
ditions. Ihe diesel fuel that powers
the engine is heated before Use to
simulate the field conditions that
the'Tarmer will'aee from engine
heat and suniigri, Leviticus said.
Hot fuel reduces the tractor's per
formance, but yields more accurate
test results, he said.

. By Joel Ssrtore
A message to anybody who just got in town for
the Nebraska Funeral Director's Convention:
You missed the aerobics last night at The
Corohusker. "
. The fitness and exercise program -is .some
thing at this year's convention that most people
would never expect, said Bob Carey, executive
director cf the Nebraska Funeral Director's
Association. ,
The convention, held Tuesday, and today, is a
time far nearly 200 Nebraska funeral directors to
see old friends, examine new products for their
businesses, and, in general, get away from it all,
he said.
Most funeral directors feel a real sense cf
responsibility to the community they serve,
Carey said. Because cf this, they act reserved and
behave with as much dignity as possible at all
times. For seme, this becomes quite a strain,
'because most funeral directors have to be
- accessible 24 hours a day, ha said.
