3 1980 Smunental Assoc. Convention begins tomorrow BOZEMAN, Mt. - The fabulous MGM-Grand Hotel in Reno, Nevada, will serve as Convention headquarters for the American Sunmental Association’s 1980 Annual Meeting. The Convention is scheduled for February 10-12 in Reno, which bills itself as the “Biggest Little City in the World.” “Plans are proceeding right on schedule,” says Ron Baker, of Hermiston, Oregon, who is general chairman of the committee which is planning the event. “We’re looking for record member attendance because of the festive atmosphere of the MGM-Grand and the city of Reno.” Baker, who is a member of the ASA Board of Trustees, representing the Western is heading a com v nuttee that has been actively planning the 1980 meeting for more than two years. Other trustees on the committee, all from the The SAME Air-Cooled Diesel Engine 2,3,4, 5, or 6 cylinder inline diesels provide 35 to 140 h.p. for the 21 models of SAME 4 WD and 2 WD tractors. These fuel-efficient engines have double (air and oil) cooling systems and have direct fuel injection from camshaft operated pumps for easier starts, reliable performance and lower fuel consumption (up to 40%). Being air-cooled, there is no radiator, hoses, thermostats, water filters... no water pump, no anti-freeze... no boiling, no freezing... so about 40% of the down-time problems connected with liquid cooled engines are eliminated. You benefit by lower original cost, lower operating and maintenance costs, faster warm-up to most efficient operating temperature, and longer engine life... to name a few. Cylinders and heads are individually replaceable and all vertical parts are interchangeable. This means faster, easier servicing and maintenance as well as fewer parts to stock. Of course, the engine is only part of the story . . . see your SAME dealer to check out, test drive and learn about all the special features that SAME offers... including a limited 2 yr./3000 hrs. warranty and a surprisingly low price tag.
