The Readers of the Record Own It, That's Why They Patronize Its Advertisers THE M. A. C. RECORD Efficient Drawbar Power Delivery GENERATING tractor power economically and efficiently is one thing. Delivering it to the drive wheels for drawbar utilization without appreciable loss and without excessive wear and strain is an entirely different matter. In all Case Kerosene Tractors power is transmitted from the motor crank shaft to the drive wheels by means of cut steel spur gears, machined to perfect accuracy and mounted on permanently aligned shafts.' Side- and end-thrust strain on gears, shafts and bearings such as would be incidental to trans mitting power through bevel gears or worm drive, is eliminated. The simplified Case transmission is a straight line, direct drive that delivers from 65 to 70 per cent of the engine's power to the drawbar. Loss of power due to friction is reduced to a minimum. This is accomplished by the simplicity of the Case transmission, the use of roller bearings for all reduction gear shafts and rear axle, and by reason of the fact that all gears run in lubricant contained in dust proof housing. The Case transmission insures the smooth, easy running qualities that save the engine's power for heavy drawbar work, instead of using it up in propelling the tractor itself. J. I.
