This section of pm finishing out the program was good to rap everything together. I've learned thAt really it doesn't do you all thAt much good to fix a big problem like a broken connecting rod of you have high silica in your oil. Pm is for stopping the problem before it happens that includes using it for right after you fix a problem. Everything needs to be how it was new for everything to work properly. That customer wants to know that after you fix it it will not come back.in with the same exact problem. Pm is to protect yourself and will help you keep customers coming back especially if they know that you will find this problems before they get out of control. Its hard in the beginning because no one lime the change or the initial cost but if we can work past thAt and then show all the benefits your set.

The oils I used We're all kubota oils. I found all the info on kubota.com. it's has all the ratings for the oil even temperatures. The paragraph is very specific about only using these oils in your kubota tractor. They have corrosion protection stabilizing parts to keep them running well. I was surprised how easy it was to find this info for the oil.

This is where I went throughout a portion of a pm sheet from the DOT. I walked through some operational controls, exterior, and tires and wheels. The pictures are of some of those things including the dash light and gauges, the tread and valuable stem and last a body panel with paint damage.
As in was looking through 'll the criteria for a complete inspection I noticed it's very in depth and can be field specific. I think about what I should be looking at before I go on deliveries with the work truck. Not just check the oil but look at some suspension components and to look at my tires. I should absorb as much as I can about the truck so I can better keep it on the road.
I really would lime to see these being used on our rental equipment at the shop and keep record of it every time it goes in and out. I bet that even just the small dents and scratches being charges to a customer would make up for anytime "lost" in the process.

When I went through finding all.the grease fittings I had some trouble. After counting two Times myself I teamed up with a couple other people and worked together to.come up.with 44 zerks for the undercarriage.

This week was the hydraulic final. Heres what I found out.
Slow speed in the book is 1.6mph. Me and Austin measured 10rpm. and track length is 15.3 ft.
By 60 minutes and divided by a mile gives the mph.
10*15.3=153ft/m   *60=9180 divided by 5280 is 1.74mph.
That is a bit faster than the book says it should be. I wonder how they do there testing maybe with some resistance?
The fast speed in the book is 2.9mph and I calculated that its about 3.48 mph
Overall the test went well but I want to know if its exactly the number in the book or just at least what the book says.

To start with a new pump you have to prime it. And initially before we do anything make sure that when you go to prime it its not against the system of pressure like a boom it needs to be in free position back to tank. If at all possible fill the area with oil before starting. make sure you can turn the pump freely by hand.

This week I learned a lot about this hydraulic system. Where to find test ports and how to not open the system to test. contamination  IS OUR ENEMY!!! Also testing the system with facts we know can possibly tell us if the pump or motors are not processing at there potential.
