NEW BUDA TYPE
OF MOTORS FOR
TRACTOR WORK
Machine Just Designed Com
bines Features That Per
mitted Operation With
Low Grade Gasoline.
The manufacturers of Buda motors
have designed a new type of motor
for tractor use, -and according to
Frank DeBrown of the Nebraska
Parrett Tractor company, this motor
is now being used in Parrett tractors
This motor is Uhe Buda model
"HTU" four and one-fourth inch by
five and one half inch and is built on
the same suRstantial design as other
motors of the Buda line. It is de
signed to operate on low grades of
gasoline and is, therefore, especially
adapted for tractor service. ,
Many Good Features.
The cylinders have a removable
head, held in position by 21 studs in
suring a good joint between head and
cylinder casting. This .makes it easy
to remove cylinder heaa for inspec
tion, removing carbon, inspecting or
grinding valves, This type of head
also permits placing the spark plugs
near the center of combustion cham
ber and to secure a good circulation
of water around the spark plugs. The
ocation of spark plugs is such that
incoming gases sweep by them in
juring ignition. The exhaust pipe and
intake pipe are integral, thus facilitat
iag the burning of low grade fuel.
Easy to Remove Pistons.
Other improvements which make
iae motor especially adapted for trac
ts service are the two piece oil pan;

y.TVV iuiu taajr antaa lu tin. uainig,
tt.t settling chamber in oil pan which
collects all dirt, ebrasion, or other
lieavy particles which may accumulate
in the oiling system and which can
be removed through the drain plug lo
cated at the lowest point of the cham
ber. The removal of the oil pan per
mits removing the connecting rods
tid pistons without taking motor out
of frame or disturbing other parts.
Valves Free From Dirt.
The motor is of the three-point sus
pension type and supports are rigid
fcnd strong. The supporting arms are
so arranged that lower half of crank
cue can be removed for the purpose
of inspection or adjustment of parts
without disturbing the adjustment of
crank shaft bearings or supporting
arms Inlet and exhaust valves are
of liberal size haying an effective
working diameter of one and seven
eighth inches and are entirely en
closed and operated from one earn
shaft. A removable --ylinder side
plate covers the valves keeping
thtm free from dust.
; One-Piece Shaft and Cam.
Pistons, piston pins and connecting
rpds are carefully machined to a given
weight. Special attention is given
to securing a perfect balance of all
movinfr parts, and to securing a per
fect fit between parts. Pistons are of
cast iron, piston pins of open hearth
steel and connecting rods ot open
hearth steel, I-beam section. The
cam shaft and cams are forged in one
piece from open hearth steel and have
all working and bearing surfaces,
which are of liberal dimensions, ac
curately ground. Cams are excep
tionally wide and designed for quiet
ness. The crank shaft is drop forged
from open hearth steel, heat treated
machined, carefully balanced ind
drilled for force feed oiling system.
The method of manufacture raises the
tensile strength of the crank shaft to
120,000 pounds per square inch and
the elastic limit to 85,000 pounds per
square inch.

all speeds. The three main shaft bear
ings and connecting rod bearings are
bronze shell, babbitt lined. The three
cam shaft bearings are af babbit, die
cast. All bearings are reamed and
scraped to a perfect bearing.
Cooling is by means of forced water
circulation using a centrifugal water
pump, water pipes ari extremely
short, simple in construction and
designated to connect to radiator
without bending the hose. The oiling
system is a full force pressure feed
to all bearings through the drilled
crank shaft.
The oil is pumped from the oil re
serv.ir below the' crank case and

bearings and from these through pas

Stowell Back to Omaha
With Af-Ford-Able Truck
B. T. Stowell, formerly associated
with the Omaha automobile row, has
returned to Omaha and has accepted
the position of district representative
of the Af-Ford-Able Truck company.
Stowell left last week for Minne
apolis, where he will pass a month
with the Northern Distributing com
pany, Minneapolis distributors of Af-Ford-Able
trucks.
The Af-Ford-Able Truck company
is growing into prominence quite rap
idly, and is very active in identifying
itself with farm work. Recently the
company sent three representatives
to the Salina tractor show.
Powerine Puts Kick
In Low Grade Gasoline
A product called powerine is now
being marketed in Omaha by C. F.
Patten which the makers claim puts
a sure enough kick in low-grade gas.
Numerous garages are experimenting
with it and so far the experiments
are very creditable.
Physicians Find Auto
Necessary in Profession
"The automobile has revolutionized
the practice of medicine," writes a
prominent physician to the Knudsen
Auto company, Moline Knight dis
tributors. "Of all the professions and various
occupations which demand the use of
the automobile, the medical profes
sion ranks among the first.
"For instance, in the last ten years
I have averaged 15,000 miles a year
and during that entire time, at least
90 per cent of the mileage has been
for professional duties."
Sudden Stoppit.
To the new owner of a motor car
there is nothing else quite so mystify
ing as to have his engine suddenly
and instantaneously stop running, af
ter it has been going along apparently
in the best of health. This means a sud
den dead stop with no preliminary
coughs and wheezes. The veteran
driver knows, however, that this prob
ably means a failure of the ignition
system and furthermore realizes that
a wire has probably broken, as it is
almost impossible for any other trou
ble to cause this instantaneous stop
page. .
A prominent physician of Youngs
town, O., was the first member of his
profession to make use of an automo
bile in his practice. This was in 1896.
STANDARD SIZES
CREATE ESONOMY
Tire Stocks Much More Easily
Handled Under Ruling of
the War Service
Board.
"In standardizing tire sizes, war
has performed a service in one year's
time for dealers, manufacturers and
car owners that it would have taken
a score of years to accompli;h in
normal times," said Henry Nygaard
of the Omaha Tire Repair Co., dis
tributor of Diamond tires.
"There is reallv no necessity for
the multiplicity of sizes and types of
tires which manufacturers have been
making and dealers have been carry
ing in stock. And yet, I doubt
whether we would have weeded out
the nonessentials short of 1950 had
the old world continued to drift along
in 1912 fashion.
"When an automobile designer spe
cified a tire of different size or type,
tire manufacturers simply made it.
No one stopped to inquire whether
some existing size or type wouldn't
suit just as well. As a result, we
have had a total of 287 different tires.
with consequent high manufacturing
costs and large investments by deal
ers who endeavored to carry a com
plete stock. .
umy oix sizes.
"Bv the recent action of the pneu
matic tire division of the war service
board," continued Nygaard, "rims on
new cars will be limited to six sues
and it will be simple for tire makers
to follow suit by reducing to nine
standard tire sizes. The new dimen
sions are as follows:
Rlmt 10x4 H cllnchtir; SixSH itralght
Id; SSxt .tralght ilde; !4x4tt straight
aide; 11x6 itralgbt ilde, and ISxT itraliht

Tlren IOxSH clincher; 81x4 ellnchar; 13
x3H atralft-ht aide; 13x4 atrlht ld; I4x
44 itraliht aids 35x5 stralfht aids; Sx
atralcht aid; 38x7 atralfbt aid, and 40x8
straight alda.
Will Reduce Stocks.
"Some sizes are abandoned imme
diately. Others are continued for va
rying periods, but by November 1,
1920, the entire plan will be in effect.
"It s the best thing that ever nap-
penned," said Nygaard. "Tire dealers
will carry smaller stocks, have lower
overhead expense, and the manufac
turers will welcome the new condi
tion. "This is directly in line with
the purposes of the war service board.
The new program will be adopted
gradually, giving car owners plenty
of opportunity to change their rim
equipment where the car will outlive
the supply of odd size tires. All new
automobiles will conform to the ne
standards, gradually eliminating all
demand for odd sizes."
Volunteer Farmers
Are Taken to the
Fields in Automobiles
"No better illustration of the prac
tical utility of the motor car and the
big part it is playing in solving the
domestic problems created by the war
can be found than the service the
automobile is giving in certain west
ern sections to help move the crops,"
says Henry Krohn, sales manager of
the Paige-Detroit Motor Car com
pany. "As every one knows it has been
very difficult for the farmers in vari
ous states to get sufficient labor to
harvest the crops, which, generally
speaking, are exceptionally large this
year. In many cases it was feared
there would be big losses, because of
the scarcity of men, until some one in
a western city conceivea a bright
idea.
"Promptly at 4 o'clock all retail
stores and business offices were
closed and the clerks, proprietors and
business men, boarding motor cars,
loaned and commandeered, were
rushed to the surrounding agricul
tural area. There they scattered
among the farms and worked in the
fields until 8 o'clock. This was con
tinued each day and great progress
made in harvesting the grain. The
idea has been adopted in many sec
tions of the west and is being fol
lowed out with great success.
"Without the motor car this would
be impossible. The volunteer labor
ers would not be able to get to the
farmer. Were horse-drawn wagons
depended upon, too much time would
be consumed in transportation back
and forth to make the scheme practi
cal. Incidentally, the idea works out
greatly to the benefit of the city
clerks who will be much better off
physically for their summer's work
in the fields."

Use for a b-.nt.
The much-abused cutout has one
positive virtue if no other; it may be
used for determining the condition of
the fuel mixture. By running the en
gine after dark and throwtrTg on the
cutout the flame that issues therefrom
will tell exactly the condition of the
flame. If the flame is blue or color
iess, the mixture is correct, whereas
a red flame indicates an excess oi
gasoline and a yellow flame the pres
ence of too much air.
