TRACTOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
When asked by a customer to perform repairs and
services on a tractor,
it
is essential that you first
find out from the customer the
full
details of the
trouble, diagnose
it
correctly, and then perform
repairs swiftly and in
a
manner that will fully
satisfy the customer.
No customer will want to have a lot of time spent
on repairs and services nor will he want the work
to cost a lot of money. Therefore, always try to
carry out the repairs and services by placing your-
self in the customer's shoes.
The trouble-shooting procedures described in this
chapter will list the symptoms on a section by
section basis, and will explain what to do about
them. When the trouble has been pinpointed and
you are about to carry out the work, do
it
prop-
erly and completely, in accordance with the
maintenance standards described in the preceding
chapters.
Poor maintenance work will not only damage
the establishment's reputation but could also lead
to serious accidents, so after the work has been
completed and the tractor is ready to be delivered
to the customer, always recheck the work carried
out.
Troubleshooting will be explained in the follow-
ing order:
(1)
Engine and related items
(2)
Electrical systems
(3)
Brake system
(4)
clutch and related items
(5)
Transmission and related items
(6)
P.T.O. and related items
(7)
