WHEEL BALANCER
REDUCES WEAR
Conventional wheel -balancing is
inexact, costly, and requires repeated
down-time, says Frank Milne, president
of Select Equipment Lines of Surrey,
B.C.
So Select has introduced to Canada
Kinetic Wheel Balancers for trucks.
The balancers, made by KinetiDyne
Inc. of Texas, are a hollow ring of ex-
truded heavy-duty plastic which con-
tains hardened steel ball bearings that
roll freely in a low -viscosity hydraulic
fluid.
The balancers are easily mounted
against the drop centre on the back side
of aluminum or steel, tube or tubeless,
disk or spoke wheels.
The fluid and balls start spinning
when the vehicle reaches 15 mph and
quickly move to offset any wheel imbal-
ances.
Testing shows that the balancers
reduce tire wear by up to 50 per cent,
virtually eliminate cupping and dishing,
and reduce road vibrations by up to 78
per cent.

INVENTIONS FOR
SOYBEAN FIELDS
Three separate growers in the U.S.
have developed light vehicles for
roguing, wick -weeding, or spot spray-
ing in soybeans without damaging the
crop, notes agricultural representative
W. J. Baxter.
One of these inventors uses buggy
wheels on his vehicle with slender di-
viders in front of the wheels to separate
the plants so the device can "walk" liter-
ally anywhere in the field.0
