Air Nozzle Tractor Inspection

[RNeumann]

To start- I’ve always been one who looks over my vehicles (sometimes required by law) on a routine basis. I’d do the same with the tractor. I’ve caught a few things early that saved me some hassle later on.

I’ve been doing some work in moon dust lately- it sucks! The first day I finished I drove the tractor to the shop and began to blow it off with shop air. It was somewhat satisfying mindless work and then I realized I was inspecting everything I’d want to on the CUT. Pivot points, linkage, engine, undercarriage, steering etc. For me, the few minutes blowing off the machine was a good way to clean things up and make a quick end of day inspection. Takes under 5’

I always liked to blow the dust and grime off of my square and round hay balers after a days work. like to grease them and put the twine in also. tomorrow I am ready for that days work. by doing this you will learn where everything is and what it should look like and may be able to avoid a breakdown.
