When set in a given position, it will maintain a uniform engine speed, When using power take-off operated equip- ment, best performance is achieved with the throttle lever in the "Fast" position. GOVERNOR \e governor is set at the time the engine is assembled and should not require readjust- ment unless the governor arm is removed or loosened from the governor shaft. Consult your Interhational Harvester dealer if the governor does not function properly. LIFTING THE HOOD ‘The tractor hood is arranged to swing up and forward to make the engine and fuel tank readily accessible. To raise the hood on the International Cub Cadet 73 Tractor, take hold of each side of the hood at the rear, pull out- ward, and raise it upward and forward to its stop. On the International Cub Cadet 106, 107, 126, 127, and 147 Tractors unlatch the hood latches located at the rear of the hood and follow the same procedure of the International Cub Cadet 73 Tractor.& STARTING THE ENGINE 1. Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is open. 2, Pull the choke control button all the way out (see Illust. 5 or 6). More or less choking may be necessary due to variations in temperature, grade of fuel, ete. Little or none will be Reeded when the engine is warm, 3, Place the throttle lever halfway between "SLOW" and "FAST", See Illust. 5.0r 6. 4, To start the engine the clutch-brake pedal must be pressed all the way down to ac- tivate the safety starting awitch, Qn the Intemational Cub Cadet 107, 127, and 147 Tractors the speed control lever will return to neutral when the clutch brake pedal is pressed all the way down, Intemational Cub Cadet 73, 106, ond 126 Tractors: Check to see that the gearshift lever is in the neutral position. See lilust, 5. OPERATING THE ENGINE All Models: Turn the ignition key clockwise to the "START" position and release it as soon as the engine starts; however do not operate the motor-generator for more than 30 seconds at any one time. If the engine does not start within this time, turn the key "OFF" and wait a few minutes, then try again. 5, After the engine starts, slowly release the clutch-brake pedal and gradually push the choke control button all the way in, Do not use the choke to enrich the fuel mixture, except when necessary to start the engine. STOPPING THE ENGINE Move the throttle lever to the "SLOW" po- sition and allow the engine to idle for a short time before stopping. Then turn the key to the "OFF" position. FUEL SYSTEM FUEL SYSTEM Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade gasoline, preferably at the end of each day's use, This will force out any moisture- laden air and prevent condensation in the fuel tank, Do not mix oil with the gasoline. ‘The fuel tank filler cap has an air vent. Keep the vent open at all times to assure proper flow of the fuel, Coution! Never remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank when the engine is running, is hot, or when near an open flame. Do not smoke when working around inflammable fuel, 80 the air around the tractor is mixed with highly explosive vapor. When pouring fuel, keep the container oF hose nozzle in contact with the metal of the fuel tank to avoid the possibility of an electric spark igniting the gas. Do not spill gasoline on a hot engine. FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE Be sure the shut-off valve on the fuel strainer under the gasoline tank is open. Screw out the needie stem (Shut-off valve) un- til the seat on the stem is tight against the stop to prevent leakage or seepage when the valve is in its full-open position, CLEANING THE FUEL STRAINER AND SEDIMENT BOWL After every 25 hours of operation, clean the fuel strainer as follows: 1. Close the shut-off valve. See Illusté, 10 ond WA. Loosen the knurled nut under the sediment bowl and remove the bowl and screen. 2, Clean the sediment bowl and screen, 3, When reassembling, be sure the gasket between the bowl and the main body is in good condition and does not leak. Use a new gasket if necessary. CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS. ‘The carburetor is adjusted at the factory and under normal operating conditions it will not require readjusting. However, if the engine does not operate properly, it is recommended a new air cleaner be installed before per- forming carburetor adjustments. If this ad- justment has been disturbed for any reason, proceed as followFUEL SYSTEM. Carburetor ond fuel strainer 1. Governor control rod 2. Ldle adjustment screw 3.

Close the idle adjustment screw to its seat by turning it clockwise; then open it one turn. Start the engine and operate it at fast idling speed (without any load) until thoroughly warm, While the engine is running at fast idle speed, it is advisable to screw in the throttle stop screw (IIlusts. 10 ond I0A)a few turns to keep the engine from stopping when the throttle lever is moved to the fully retarded "SLOW" position, The engine will then be idling at a fairly high speed and the throttle stop screw can be backed out a little at a time until the desired idle speed is obtained. If the engine misses or rolls while backing out the throttle stop screw, the idle adjustment screw may be adjusted in or out until the en— gine operates smoothly. Speed up the engine for a few seconds; then recheck the idle ad- justment. A slight adjustment in or out will give the smoothest idle, 10 5. Fuel shut-off valve 6. Sediment bowl 7. Fuel line 8. Air cleaner Must, 10A (International Cub Cadet 106, 107, 126, 127, ‘ond 147 Tractors) Adjusting the High-Speed Adjustment Screw Turn the high speed adjustment screw(lllusts, 10 and 10A) counter-clockwise approximately two turns from the closed position and start the engine. After the engine has reached normal ope! ating temperature, accelerate the engine and check its response. Place the engine under load and turn the high speed adjustment screw (Illusts. 10 and 10A) to the leanest mixture that will allow satisfactory acceleration and steady governor operation. If the engine misses and backfires under load, the high speed mixture is too lean, The high’ speed adjustment screw must be turned ‘counter-clockwise 1/4 turn at a time until the condition is corrected, If the engine shows a sooty exhaust and is sluggish under load, the high speed mixture is too rich. The high speed adjustment screw must be turned clockwise 1/4 turn at a time ‘until the condition is corrected, >DRIVING THE TRACTOR PREPARING THE TRACTOR FOR EACH DAY'S WORK Check the crankease oil level and add new oil ifnecessary. See poge 27. Clean the air cleaner element if necessary. See page 17. Inspect the tires for general condition. See pages 20 ond 21, ADJUSTING THE SEAT Must, 11 Adjusting the seot (Intemational Cub Cadet 106,107,126,127, and 147 Tractors) Before starting the tractor, adjust the seat to the most comfortable driving position by loosening the four cap screws in the seat sup- un port (lilust. Mor seat spring clamping plate (lllust. 11) and slide the seat assembly for- ward or rearward to the position which is most comfortable for the operator. Retighten the cap screws after the seat is adjusted, ‘The International Cub Cadet 106, 107, 126, 127, and 147 Tractors features a seat which can be tilted forward over the steering wheel, for convenience in adjusting the seat and access to the tool box.

Disengage the clutch by pressing the clutch pedal all the way down, and release the brake lock. Move the gearshift lever to the desired speed. 3, Start the tractor in motion by slowly releasing the clutch pedal and moving the throttle lever to the position where the engine operates best for the load to be handled, Note: When using power take-off operated equipment, best performance is achieved with the throttle lever in the "Fast" position, Note: Do not shift gears while the engine clutch is engaged or while the tractor is in motion, Note: Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving the tractor, as this will result in excessive clutch lining wear, 2 Always be sure the rear wheels are {ree to turn, Under any adverse conditions, do not attempt to free the tractor by speeding up the engine and suddenly engaging the clutch. Try backing out instead of going forward, STOPPING THE TRACTOR Disengage the clutch by pressing the pedal all the way down, Move the gearshift lever to the "N" position. Before dismounting always lock the pedal, disengage the power take-off, and turn the ignition "OFF". CREEPER SHIFT LEVER The creeper drive (optional) provides a slower speed in each respective gear, by a four-to-one reduction in speed from direct drive, When the creeper shift lever is all the way forward, it is in direct drive, or all the way rearward, it is in creeper drive. See Must. 5. OPERATING THE CREEPER DRIVE To operate the tractor in creeper drive, depress the pedal and move the creeper shift ever illus. ) all the way rearward, Then select the transmission speed desired and pro- ceed as instructed under "Starting the Trac- tor", Note: Do not use a mid-point position on the creeper drive as neutral. Neutral position must be selected only with the standard trans~ mission gearshift lever. The following table shows the speeds avail- able in each of the three forward gears and the reverse gear. SPEED TABLE ae eS > SSEoe DRIVING THE TRACTOR (International Cub Cadet 107, 127, and 147 Tractors) BRAKE PEDAL ‘The brake pedal must be pressed all the way down to activate the safety starting switch. When the brake pedal is in the depressed posi- tion it automatically moves the speed control lever to the "'N" position. ‘The tractor can be stopped either by press- ing the pedal all the way down, or placing the speed control lever in the "N" position, LOCKING THE BRAKE Always lock the brake when dismounting from the tractor. To lock the brake, press down on the pedal; then place the brake pedal lock in the engaged position. See Illust, 1B. To disengage the lock, press down on the pedal, lift the lock up and place it in the disengaged position. SPEED CONTROL LEVER This lever is used to select any speed from a standstill "'N" position to eight miles per hour in the forward direction and to four miles per hour in the reverse direction. Moving the speed control lever forward provides increased forward speed, and moving the lever rearward provides the reverse speeds. Note: Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving the tractor as this would cause the speed control lever to return to the "IN" position, Note: On tractors with a rotary tiller the following instructions are required, 1, Engage the Power Take-Off clutchand move the throttle to "Fast". 2, Lower the rotary tiller to the desired cutting depth. 3. Move the speed control lever to start for- ward motion. Note: In rotary tilling application, the tractor is used to hold the rotary tiller back rather than to pull the unit, as in plow- ing or mowing. 4, Move the speed control lever back to a position to maintain proper mulching of the soil. 5. With a hydrostatic drive, it may be nec- essary to vary the speed control lever as the soil conditions vary, With a gear driven trac- tor, under similar conditions, it may be neces- sary to declutch or to use the brake. STARTING THE TRACTOR 1, Depress the brake pedal and release the brake lock, Move the throttle lever to the posi- tion where the engine operates best for the load to be handled. 2. Start the tractor in motion by moving the speed control lever slowly forward or rear- ward as described above, RELEASE LEVER To push or move tractor for a short distance or when working on the engine, the release lever (lllust. 7) must be locked in the release (up) position and the speed control lever must be in the ''N" position.

ENGINE COOLING AND AIR CLEANER ENGINE COOLING This tractor has an air cooled engine. Air must be able to circulate freely around the en- gine, through the screen and shroud, and over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep these areas free of accumulated dirt and trash or the engine will overheat and result in damaged moving parts. Periodic cleaning with compressed air will keep this area clear for adequate cooling. DRY TYPE AIR CLEANER Incoming air for combustion is filtered by a dry-type air cleaner having a filter element inside of the cover. we Remove and clean or replace the element with a new one when loss of power is notice- able. Replace at least once a year. lust, 7A femoving the air cleaner filter element. WWENGINE COOLING AND AIR CLEANER Cleaning the Element To clean the element, remove the wing nut, washer, and air cleaner cover (Illus, 17A) then remove the element and tap it lightly on a flat surface to cause the loose dirt to fall off. Handle the paper element with care to avoid perforations. Do not use compressed air to remove the dirt as this can rupture the ele~ ment, Do not wash or use a solvent. Replacing the Element Replace the element with a new one if dirt does not drop off easily, or if it is bent, crushed or damaged, When replacing the ele- ment be sure the back plate is securely tight- ened to the carburetor. Replace the back plate if bent or cracked, then be sure the element fits snugly around the inside edge of the air cleaner base. The gasket surfaces of the ele- ment must be flat against the back plate and cover to seal effectively. The washer must be in place between the cover and the wing nut to seal and prevent unfiltered air from entering through the hole in the cover. Then replace the cover and tighten the wing nut finger tight. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The twelve-volt electrical system consists principally of a motor-generator, voltage regu- lator, and a twelve-volt battery, All connections must be clean and securely fastened, IGNITION SWITCH Turn the key clockwise to turn on the igni- tion. A further turn actuates the motor-genera- tor. The key cannot be removed when in the "ON" position. Note: When the engine is not operating the key must be turned to the "OFF" position to prevent battery discharge, SAFETY STARTING SWITCH ‘The safety starting switch, activated by the clutch-brake pedal, serves to prevent starting the engine accidentally. CHARGE INDICATOR This instrument (lllust. 6) indicates whether the motor-generator is charging or the battery is discharging. If it shows discharge contina- ously, investigate the cause to avoid completely discharging the battery and possible damage to the motor-generator. CIGARETTE LIGHTER (Optional) Push the lighter to make electrical contact. When it pops back it is ready for use. 18 SPARK PLUG Note: Remove all dirt from around the spark plug before removing. Remove the spark plug, always using a spark plug wrench, after every 100 hours of operation to check the gap. See Illust. 18. Must, 18 Checking the spork plug gop. Set gop ot .025.inch, Be sure the gasket is in good condition. Tighten the plug 1/2 to 3/4 turns past finger tight. Replace a defective plug with a new plug. See your International Harvester dealer for a correct replacement plug. ~MOTOR-GENERATOR The motor-generator (12-volt, negative ground) will function as a cranking motor when the ignition key is turned to the "START" posi- tion, driving the engine by means of a belt. When the engine is operating, the unit will function as a generator. MOTOR.GENERATOR BELT Check the tension of the motor-generator belt after the first 10 hours of operation and every 50 hours of operation thereafter, The tension is correct when the belt can be de- flected a maximum of 1/4-inch by a ten pound force applied midway between the two pulleys. Allow 1/4 inch deflection here Must, 19) Correct motor-generator belt tension. Also follow this procedure when a new belt is installed, Adjusting the Motor-Generator Belt Loosen the motor-generator brace bolt and mounting bolts, Illust. Move the generator away from the engine until the tension on the belt is correct. See Ilust. 19, Note: Under no circumstances should a pry bar be used on the motor-generator to obtain belt tension as damage to the bearings will result. ‘Tighten mounting bolts and brace bolt. 19 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 2 Motor generetor brace bolt 3. Motor generator belt IMlust, 194. Replace the motor -generator belt when it becomes badly worn. To remove the old belt, loosen the motor -generator brace bolt and mounting bolts (Illust, 19A), Move the generator in toward the engine and slip the old belt off the pulleys and over the crankshaft. Install the new belt in the reverse order of removal and adjust the belt to the proper tension. Note: If tractor is equipped with rotary mower, drive belt must algo be removed when replacing generator belt. See page 16, VOLTAGE REGULATOR A satisfactory generator charging rate is maintained by the voltage regulator. If the regulator fails to operate correctly, see your International Harvester dealer. Note: Never place a jumper lead between, or accidentally bridge, the "BAT" terminal and the ""F" terminal on the regulator, as this will damage the regulator. LIGHTS Lights are optional on all models except the 147, The light switch is a push-pull control. See Illust. 6 ‘The headlights are sealed-beam units. When replacement is necessary, refer to 'SPECIFI- CATIONS". To replace the taillight lamp, remove the lens from the taillight and replace. Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS".ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FUSE (Electric chting) Always use the same capacity fuse for re- placement. Refer to "'Specifications", If the lights fail, check the fuse. ‘The fuse is located in a fuse housing in the line at the back of the instrument panel. To install a new fuse, press in on the fuse housing cap and turn counterclockwise to re move it from the fuse housing. Remove the old fuse and replace it with 2 new one. Then re- assemble the cap to the housing, Remove the battery if necessary to reach the fuse, Before working on any part of the electri- cal system, disconnect the battery ground, cable at the battery negative (-) terminal. Do not reconnect this cable until all work has been completed, This will prevent shorting and damage to any of the electrical units. Examine the electrical cables occasionally to be sure they are not being frayed by contact with adja- cent parts. When replacing a battery, make certain the ground cable is connected to the negative (-) terminal on the battery. Be sure the rubber boot is properly positioned over the positive (+) terminal on the battery, Note: Both cables must be assembled with the auts to the inside of the terminals to prevent shorting against the pedestal. Cleaning ond Servicing the Bottery Occasionally remove the battery cables and brighten the terminal contact surfaces with wire wool, and reassemble them, Apply a light coat of vaseline or chassis lubricant. Be sure the terminals are clamped tightly and that the battery is fastened securely in the battery box. Replace unserviceable cable. Keep the vent holes in the battery filler caps open. Keeping the battery fully charged not only adds to its life but makes it available for in- stant use when needed. Liquid Level Check the battery at least once a month for water level. The electrolyte (acid and water) in each cell should be at ring level at all times to prevent battery failure, When the electrolyte is below this level, add pure, distilled water. Acid or electrolyte should never be added except by a skilled battery man. Under no circumstances add any special battery "dopes", solutions or powders, Caution! Electric storage batteries give off highly inflammable hydrogen gas when charg- ing and continue to do so for some time after receiving a steady charge. Covtion! Do not under any circumstances allow an electric spark or an open flame near the battery. Do not lay tools across battery terminals as this may result ina spark or short circuit which may cause an explosion. Be careful to avoid spilling any electrolyte on hands or clothing. For dependable battery service, see your International Harvester dealer, PNEUMATIC TIRES REAR TIRES 6-12 rear tires are standard equipment on the International Cub Cadet 73,106, and 107 Tractors. 23 x 8. 50-12 high floatation tires are stand- ard equipment on the International Cub Cadet 126, 127 and 147 Tractors. They are also available as extra equipment when ordered for the International Cub Cadet 73,106, and 107 Tractors, The high floatation tires provide maximum mobility in sand, snow, and soft soil conditions. ‘The reduced ground pressure and low inflation provides maximum protection for turf, soil, and créps. Z 20 CARE OF TIRES Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, curbs, and other hazards. Cuts in tires should be re~ paired immediately as neglect decreases the tire life. Keep tires free from oil and grease as both destroy rubber. After using the tractor for spraying use water to remove any chemicals that may be on the tires. a]INFLATION Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. Overinflation will cause operator discomfort. Underinflation will cause short tire life. Always see that the tire valve caps are in place and tightened securely to prevent the loss of air and protect the valve core and stem, OPERATING PRESSURE FOR TIRES Inflate the front and rear tires for normal or heavy load operations as shown in the fol- lowing table.

Then deflate the tire to the correct operating pres~ REAR WHEEL WEIGHTS Rear wheel weights increase traction and reduce wheel slippage. The weights weigh ap- proximately 26 pounds each. They are attached to each rear wheel with two bolts, lock washers, and hex. nuts. If additional weight is desired, a second set of weights can be attached to each first weight by using two longer bolts. TIRE CHAINS Tire chains will provide additional traction for wet ground conditions, when plowing snow, or pulling heavy loads. Rear wheel weights are recommended when using chains.

When storing the tractor: 1, Wash or clean and completely lubricate the tractor, See the "Lubrication Guide" on pages 29 to 35, 2, Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until the fuel is exhausted from the fuel sys- tem. Clean the fuel strainer screen and glass bowl. See page 9. Note: Gum will eventually form in the fuel tank, line, and carburetor if the unit is not drained, Gum can be dissolved with acetone or a 50-50 mixture of alcohol and benzol. 3. After the engine has cooled, remove the spark plug and pour one tablespoonful of Hy-Tran® into the cylinder. Crank the engine slowly turning the generator belt by hand to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls. Then replace the spark plug. 4. Clean the exterior of the engine. 5, Remove the battery and place it in a cool, dry place above freezing (+32"F.). Check the 25 battery at least once a month for water level and amount of charge. See page 20. 6, On all gear driven International Cub Cadet Tractors press the clutch and brake pedal all the way down and engage the brake pedal lock. This will prevent the clutch lining from sticking to the pressure plate. RENOVING FROM STORAGE 1. Fill the fuel tank. 2, Install a fully charged battery and be sure the proper connections are made. 3, Start the engine and let it run slowly. Do not accelerate the engine rapidly, or oper- ate it at high speed immediately after starting. Caution! Keep the doors wide open or release the brake pedal lock and move the machine outside the storage room immediately, to avoid danger from exhaust gas. 4, Inflate the tires to the correct operating pressures. See "Pneumatic Tires" on page 21.EXTRA EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES The tractor is used for so many different particular needs at the time, However, later types of work,and because it is called on to you may wish to obtain some of the equipment operate under so many different conditions, a or accessories shown below.

If the engine is to be operated at temperatures between +75 degrees F and 0 degrees F, this oil can be used for the first five hours of operation. If the temperatures are not within this range, drain the oil from the crankcase and replace it with new oil as specified in the '"Lubrication Table". The engine oil must be drained and replaced with new oil every 30 hours of engine operation thereafter. Oils designated "For Service MS" are recommended for this engine. To Aid starting, the selection of crankcase lubricating oils should be based on the lowest anticipated temperature until the next drain period. Check the oil levels of the engine crank- ease and transmission to see that they are filled to the correct levels. Note: Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped. Illust. 27 — Oil level gouge. 27LUBRICATION ‘The crankcase oil filler cap has the oil level gauge attached to it. Se Illy. 27. Always Keep the oil level between the "FULL" and the SLOW" marks on the gauge. When checking the oil level, the gauge must be withdrawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the way and weitisteatne for 62 totsstansing Lubricate the entire tractor, using only high-quality lubricating oils and greases as specified in the "Lubrication Table". For your own protection, select only oils and greases of recognized manufacture. Keep your supply of lubricating oil abso- lutely clean and free from dust. Always use clean containers. Keep the lubricator clean and wipe dirt from the lubrication fittings before applying the lubricator. TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER (Internationel Cub Cadet 107, 127, ond 147 Tractors) Remove the throwaway can-type filter and replace with a new filter after the first 10 hours and after 50 hours of operation, and every 100 hours of operation thereafter. Note: Clean the outside area before remov- ing the filter to keep dirt from getting into the transmission case. If a mower is mounted on the tractor, the mower must be lowered to facilitate the removal of the filter. To remove the filter, turn the filter coun- terclockwise using an automotive type filter wrench or an open end wrench. Before installing the new filter, apply a coating of oil on the filter gasket. Thread the filter on by hand until tight enough to seat the gasket. Loosen the filter. Then turn it until the gasket contacts the base. Tighten the filter an additional one half turn. Check for leaks and check oil level of transmission case.
