Clean Air Essential For Prolonged Life of Tractor Motor EVEN the best automobile or truck motors are un- suited for c o n t i n u o us successful t r a c t or operation. They are likely to be too short lived to stand the grind of con stant heavy draw-bar work in dusty fields. Aside from having inadequate bearings and shafting for such work, the cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings would be worn down quickly by dust- laden air as if by emery powder. Result: low compression, loss of power, waste of fuel. All Case Kerosene Tractors are equipped with the Case patented air washer of our own design and manufacture. It thoroughly cleanses the air that is drawn with the fuel into the cylinders. The air is drawn through water and two screens, the latter preventing bubbles from carrying dust through the carburetor to the motor. In this way all grit is removed and a clean, moist, highly explosive mixture is delivered to the cylinders. Clean air is just as essential to tractor motor life as it is to human life. In designing and building Case Kerosene Tractors, every known s a f e g u a rd h as been provided to insure long life, and economical, efficient operation. J. I.
