The front spring bolts and shackles
should be well greased once to every
300 or 400 miles of travel. Neglect
at these parts will soon produce
. noise. The same attention should be
given to the rear spring Joints. The
rear axle gear-set and transmission gears
should be inspected and lubricated at
least onoe to each 2.000 miles of travel.
In this connection one should bear In !
mind that there are many Inferior greases
on the market and attention should be j
paid to the proper selection of materials. ,
Tho clutch shifting parts and brake'
Joints should be kept well oiled at all'
times. In oiling the magneto or other 1
ignition devices one should bear In mind
the functions which these parts per
form. Too lrberal a use of oil at these
(points will often cause trouble and In
some cases put tho Ignition out of com
mission. Two or three drops of oil onoe
in every 2,000 miles will be sufficient
This rule may also be applied to the care
of the starter.
Motors having water pumps should be
given attention at this point. The grease
cups should be kept filled with hard
grease and given a turn every day or two 1
providing the car is In constant use. In '
oiling the motor itself great care should
be exercised In using oils of the proper
weight It la a very good Idea to keep
a close tab on the oil gauge and the
oil feeders. Oftentimes the feeders be
come clogged, or they may run too freely.
This la a waste on the one hand and a
serious neglect on the other.
AH moving Joints exposed to the dust
and dirt should ' receive constant care
as to oiling. Pry spring leaves can be
lubricated by separating the leaves and
allowing a mixture of graphite and oil
to run between them.
Wheel bearing should be packed with
Hard oil at least once in every S.000 miles, j
Much care should be used In greasing the
steering gear and all connecting parts, -A
fairly soft grease should be used on
the steering knuckles, as any binding
here will make steering difficult
Such attention will necessitate a little 1
expenditure of time, but It will be an
effort well directed and will Insure
greater efficiency, longer life to the me
chanics and a sweeter running car. j
