F20 Engine Break-in advice?

Posted by Rauville on November 22, 2006 at 16:29:18 from (209.180.79.30):

Going through some old stuff today, and came across a F20 Manual along with a heavy cardstock tag that was apparently wired on a new tractor back in 1934 (date code of 5-22-34). Thought some of the advice on the tag (in 8 languages) was interesting enough to share.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OPERATOR
1."Before starting tractor be sure the crankcase is properly filled with a good grade of engine lubricating oil.
2.It would be wise to put in 2 quarts of oil above the high level for the first day or two.
3.Remove sparkplugs daily and put one tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Crank engine by hand before using the choke for starting.
4.During the first 100 hours of operation, mix one pint of engine oil with every 5 gallons of fuel.
5.When breaking in, always use excessive amounts of oil rather than not enough."
