Timkens 
The rear wheel of your farm truck 
hasn’t quite as hard a job as a front 
one, but it needs Timken Taper just 
the same. 
A little skid, a graze of the curb or sidewise 
blow from a rut or a stone gives a tremendous 
end thrust to the bearing. Measured in pounds 
the end thrust that comes from a two-inch drop 
of a loaded truck would startle you. 
And a trifling looseness—which is bound to 
come with a bearing that has no take-up for wear 
— the take-up that Timken Bearings do have— 
means a considerable play at the circumference of 
the wheel and rapid wear on tires. 
Every year adds to the list of truck builders 
and truck owners who appreciate the advantages 
of Timken Taper. 
It doesn’t pay to overlook the things that don’t 
cause trouble. 
Remember the tapered shape of the 
Timken Bearing. That tapered 
design has brought about the superi¬ 
ority of performance, which in turn 
has led to the adoption of Timken 
Bearings by the best motor car, 
tractor and truck builders of America.
