Maintenance Methods For Agricultural Machinery

Scientific and reasonable maintenance of agricultural machinery is a key link in ensuring its long-term stable operation, improving agricultural production efficiency, and ensuring safety. Only by following the correct maintenance methods can agricultural machinery truly unleash its maximum potential. So how to maintain agricultural machinery? Let's go take a look together next!

1. Lubricating oil should not be mixed for summer and winter. Lubricating oil in summer is prone to heat induced thinning, poor oxidation resistance, deterioration, and even causes faults such as tile burning and shaft holding. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the quantity and quality of lubricating oil in the crankcase and gearbox. If there are problems, they should be replaced in a timely manner. The lubricating oil added should be clean and sufficient to avoid damage to agricultural machinery.

2. For the trial operation and grinding of new agricultural machinery, it is necessary to conduct a trial run and break in. After the break in is completed, the oil filter of the machine should be cleaned and residual impurities in the oil should be removed. If quality problems with the oil are found, the oil should be replaced and the oil pan should be cleaned.

3. The working surface of metal parts that do not come into contact with soil should be coated with anti rust paint first and then waterproof paint. Painting generally refers to the primer and topcoat commonly used by people. The primer and machine parts are firmly bonded to prevent rust, and the paint used should be selected according to the usage conditions of the components.

4. The handling of elastic parts in agricultural machinery requires the regular removal of all springs, belts, and supporting tools with tires to relieve the load. If unusable belts are found, they should be replaced in a timely manner. If usable belts are found, they should be wiped clean, coated with talcum powder, and placed indoors to maintain ventilation and dryness, avoiding belt curling.

5. If agricultural machinery shows cracks during inspection, it cannot be used. Generally, suspicious parts are soaked in kerosene for 30 minutes, taken out and wiped dry on the surface, and a layer of chalk dust is applied on the surface. After a period of time, if the chalk dust absorbs the kerosene seeping out from the cracks, it will turn black and the parts can be checked for cracks.
