MI neW. and all set to go, ready to turn out more
tvork in a day and to make it easier for you.
First of all, there’s more horsepower in this new
770, coming from a deeper-breathing, higher-speed
engine Add the new Power-Booster Drive and you
get 12 forward speeds, almost one-third more pull
for heavy going at the touch of a lever—on the go.'
Hook a new 4-bottora semi-mounted No. 5440
plow to Oliver’s new Power-Traction Hitch and
forget about the tough spots. Your 770 just bears
’down, steps right through at full speed. Put on
Powerjuster wheels; let the engine change tread.'
'And make driving a pleasure with power steering.’
This is only the beginning. There’s a lot more to
see in the new 770. You’ll wanUo feel this snappy
power, too—in all the-exciting new ways.'
