It will light up when the key is switched on and will normally remain on while the engine is stationary or running at a low idling speed. When the engine speed is increased above idling, the light should go out, indicating that the generator is charging the battery correctly.
The bulb unit is positioned in the cylinder head water outlet below the thermostat. If a "live" power take-off is fitted there are in effect two clutches operated by the same pedal and there will be a distinct increase in pedal resistance after the pedal has been depressed through approximately half its travel.
The first movement of approximately half the pedal travel disengages the drive to the transmission while the P. When the pedal is fully depressed the P. Both levers are located side by side in front of the driving seat, the longer lever on the left being the main lever and the shorter on the right, the secondary lever. The gear positions are shown in Fig.

When parking the tractor first lock the two pedals together, engage the pawl by moving the locking latch rearwards Fig.
This instrument indicates not only the speed of the engine but also the total hours worked, ground speed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears and correct engine speeds for P. In effect therefore there are seven instruments combined into one. Engine speed may be quickly read off the outer scale which is calibrated in hundreds of revolutions per minute. Also marked are the words "P. It is therefore necessary when operating any P. There are also three coloured bands marked around the face of the proofmeter, and the ground speed of the tractor in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear can be read off from the band corresponding to the gear being used.
The "total hours" worked by the tractor are recorded in an aperture in the face of the instrument. The working hours recorded are based on an average engine speed calculated from the varying types of work on which the tractor is employed over a period. As such they are not actual working hours but are suffi6iently accurate for normal purposes. By keeping a check on the operating hours, the operator can arrange to have the periodic services carried out at the correct intervals.
The proofmeter. The horn itself is mounted beneath the fuel tank. The switch lever positions are as follows:. It enables the drive from the engine to be engaged with the power take-off P. The P. The purpose of the valve is to enable double acting rams such as used on reversible ploughs to be operated utilizing the tractor hydraulic pump.
There are two operational controls, a vertical lever located in front of the driver's seat which is used to direct the oil flow to either side of the double acting ram piston, and a flow control valve located on the valve cover which can be used to regulate the speed at which the ram will act.

In the first half of the s, demand exceeded production capacity only twice, in and , output exceeded , units per year , but the tractor business remained unprofitable.
