How to make sure your equipment will be in tip-top shape for spring The best way to make sure your tractor and farm equipment are all set to go when spring comes around is to arrange now for the parts and service you need.

If our shop is busy when you call, we'll make a definite appointment to take the work on as soon as possible. Also, we can order parts in advance and have them on hand when work is begun. You can save time by cleaning up implements before you bring them in. You can get more power out of your tractor if you will allow us to change it over to high compression next time you need an overhaul, and then use gasoline instead of any heavier tractor fuel. Gasoline is more convenient to use, makes starting easier, cuts down crankcase oil dilution.
