INTRODUCTION

The country, India, is basically an agricultural country where more

than 65 % of population population, enough food has to be produced.
This cannot be produced with our conventional bullock drawn
3

implements. So there was need felt to invent such machine which speeds
up the agricultural production. Due to this reason the tractor was
invented.
Before we start, it is necessary to know how the word tractor is
derived. Prior to 1900, the machine i. e. tractor is known as traction
machine (pulling machine). After 1900, both the words joined by taking
tract from traction and tor from motor calling tractor. The tractor is
the machine which is used for applying high traction.
In our country, tractors were started manufacturing in real sense
after independence and at present, we are self sufficient in meeting
demand of countrys requirements for tractors. At present in India, there
are different tractor producing factories present like Hindustan machine
tools, Punjab tractors, Kirloskar tractors, etc is directly or indirectly
connected to agriculture. Moreover for increasing

II. COMPANY PROFILE

2.1 Birth of HMT
In 1949 the idea of public sector tools was commissioned to be a corner stone
for the governments industrial development plans. This led to the birth of
HINDUSTAN MACHINE TOOLS at Bangalore in 1953 which started a single
4

machine tools factory to produce lathes at Bangalore, in collaboration with M/s

Oerlikon of Switzerland.
Next, the company widened its product range beyond lathes by entering into
technical collaboration with other international leaders in machine tools such as Fritz
Werner, Herman Kolb, Errantly Somua, Gildermeister, Liebherr etc.
The second machine tool unit was set up in Bangalore in 1961 making use of
the Companys own resources. The company diversified itself when, in collaboration
with Citizen Watch Company of Japan, the first watch factory was setup in Bangalore
in 1962 to produce hand watches.
The third machine tool unit was set up in 1963 at Pinjore, Haryana to produce
milling machines. In next few years, Machine Tool Units were set up at Kalamessary
in Kerala and in Hyderabad. The Printing Machinery division was attached to
machine tools factory at Kalamessary to qualities Printing Machine.
HMTs tractor business commenced its operations in 1971 in technical
collaboration with M/s MOTOKOV, Czechoslovakia because of the priority given to
the agriculture in the national development plan and to take advantage of the green
revolution. HMT started the operations with the manufacturing of 25 Hp tractors.
Over the years, it has developed tractors ranging from 25 75 Hp.
The unit in Hyderabad began to make lamps and lamp making machines in
1973 to cater to the growing needs of rural. This was followed by producing
automatic watches.
A third watches factory was established in Srinagar to manufacture hand
wound watches for men. In 1975, the company took over the machine tool
corporation of Indias unit in Ajmer, Rajasthan and its name was changed to HMT
Limited.
In 1975, a separate international scales network called HMT was set up
comprising of companys own agencies as well as other sales agents in Australia,
Europe and America. This network was to handle the marketing strategy and
operations of the company overseas and it also extended its services to the other
leading Indians and overseas engineering companies. Since then this international arm
of the company has set up the turkey project in Algeria, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya,
Nigeria and Srilanka.

III. TRAINING CENTRE

In training centre, the basic machines are studied such as Lathe Machine,
Milling machine, Drilling Machine, etc.

3.1 Structure of Training Centre

Training center is divided into four sections,
1. Turning section,
2. Fitting section,
8

3. Milling section,
4. Tractor training section.

3.2 Turning Section

In turning section, we have learnt about the lathe machine which is mother of
all machines and play a basic role in mechanical line.
3.2.1 Lathe Machine
Lathe is probably the oldest machine tools. The basic idea about turning or
lathe machine came out in 17 century. Until 1770, lathes were useless metal cutting
because they lacked power and holding device, were not strong enough and accurate
enough to guide the tools. For its development to the form in which we know it now,
we owe much to Henry Muldsley, who developed the sliding carriage and in 1880
built a screw cutting lathe.
3.2.2 Classification of Lathe Machine
1. Engine Lathe,
2. Speed Lathe,
3. Turret Lathe,
4. Toll Room Lathe,
5. Hollow Spindle Lathe,
6. Capstan Lathe,
7. Bench Lathe.
Lathe is also called Complete Machine. This single machine can do number of
operation.
3.2.3 Facing
This operation is carried out to produce flat surface at the end of part, which is
useful for parts that are attached to other components, or face grooving to produce
grooves for O-ring seals.
3.2.4 Drilling
In this process a drilling of desire diameter is held in the tail stock and the
operation of drill is carried out.
3.2.5 Boring
In this enlargement of hole or cylinder cavity made by previous process is
done. It improves accuracy and surface finish.
3.2.6 Threading
In this operation internal and external threads on the surface are prepared.
3.2.7 Knurling
In this operation a regularly shaped roughness is prepared on the cylindrical
surface for fascinating easy gripping.

3.3 Fitting Section

Fitting work is very important work in engineering. In fitting shop unwanted
material is removed with the help of hand tools. It is done for mating, repair and
manufacturing purpose. The person working in fitting shop is called as fitter.
Commonly used tools are hacksaw, files, chisels etc.

3.4 Milling Section

Milling machine were basically developed to machine flat surface. But, the
present machine can machine flat, countered and helical surfaces, cut gears and do
various other jobs. Due to this all milling machine is one of the most useful and
necessary machine tools found in the shop and it rank next to the lathe in importance.
Milling machine are designed to hold and rotate milling cutter or cutters, hold
the work piece and feed the work piece to the milling cutter in one several directions.

IV. FOUNDRY MECHANISMS

Since there are certain basic steps in the metal casting process, these may be
used as unit of mechanism.
Processing steps which lead them to the mechanism are,
1. Sand preparation,
2. Core making,
3. Moulding, pouring and shakeouts,
4. Melting,
5. Cleaning.
Foundry is divided into following section,
1. Sand plant system,
2. Sand handling system,
3. Core making and baking system,
4. Moulding making and handling,
5. Core setting system,
6. Melting system,
7. Metal pouring system,
8. Testing lab,
9. Fettling section,
10. Painting and printing section.

4.1 Sand plant system

The main objective of it is to reuse the used lad to the installation of sand plant
system. The vital task of sand plant system is to deliver well prepared sand at required
place that will determine the efficient working of the foundry. After casing are
10

knocked out of moulding box on a vibratory shakeout box that the used sand is
returned to the fixed amount of new sand, binders, catalysts and hardeners to get to
the required composition of the sand. Green sand, dry sand and oil sand are being
prepared in the sand plant. These constitutes are added in Muller in which all contents
are mixed thoroughly and then supplied via belt conveyor system to working stations.

4.2 Sand handling system

For handling the sand i. e. move it from one place to another, the bucket
elevator and belt conveyor are used.
4.2.1 Bucket elevator
When sand is to be conveyed vertically upward, a bucket is ideal. There are
two pulleys, one at the top and other at the bottom which carry an endless belt. The
belt carries number of buckets all around and the whole assembly is enclosed in steel
casting which has two openings, one at bottom for feeding and other at top for
discharge.
4.2.2 Belt conveyor
It is used for transferring sand from one place to another. It consist of endless
belt, two pulleys or idlers for carrying a loaded belt and returning the empty belt, a
belt tightening mechanism and the belt cleaner. The angle of inclination should not be
exceeding 150 for dry sand.

4.3 Core making and baking system

11

As patterns are made to get to outer shape of the casting, the inner shapes are
used to for whole generation core placed in the moulds. As the core comes in contact
of molten metal that must possess following characteristics:
1. Core sand must have high strength to bear the pressure of metal when poured.
2. The sand must have high refractory characteristics so that it may not fuse due
to high temperature being in contact with molten metal.
3. It must have high cohesive property so as to get good finish castings.
Zircon paint (alcohol base) dried just by lightning it up. Large and heavy cores
are baked along with the dry sand moulds in oven.
Core drying cycles for oven:
3000 C 1
2000 C - 2

hrs.
hrs.

Cooling time in oven 3 hrs.

After baking, the hardness is tested by using hardness meter

4.4 Mould making section

Moulds are being made on moulding machine pedantically powered rammers.
Metallic patterns are being used. After mould being made on moulding machine, it
goes to sand cutter which removes extra sand present and level the mould base, from
on to the power operated roller conveyor, the mould is handled using the swing type
crane. Core setting is done in drag part of mould. Zircon painting is sprayed on to the
mould (as paint is alcohol based hence get dry up by lighting fire).
4.4.1 Mould baking
Dry sand moulds are to bake to acquire hardness to with sand the pressure
produced by the flow of molten metal. These are baked in ovens. Mould baking cycles
for ovens 300C for 2

hrs. and Cooling time in oven 3 hrs.

4.4.2 Melting section

It is having two types of furnace.
1. Electric induction furnace,
2. Copula furnace.

4.5 Fettling
After they are knocked out on vibrator shake, the casting head to be finished
by the removal of projections whether they are gets riser or runner that where there as
12

a part of design aspect or the projection which has appeared as a defect like fins or
blow holes. The process that involves all these procedure of casting finish is termed as
fettling.
Fettling operation is divided into following stages:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Knocking out of dry sand cores,

Removal of gates and risers,
Extraction of fins and other projections,
Cleaning and smoothing of the surface,
Repair casting by filling of the blow holes, straightening the wrap or deformed
casting.

4.6 Priming and painting

After all the cleaning process has been performed then the final step is priming
and the painting casting. The machine tool castings are generally big and are handled
with crane during painting. Painting is done by brushes only.

VII. HEAT TREATMENT

All components (manufactured in LMS) after undergoing machining operation
are subjected to heat treatment. It is done so as to improve hardness and strength of
these components viz. gears and shafts.
Basic operations performed during heat treatment:
1. Hardening,
2. Quenching,
3. Annealing,
4. Tempering,
5. Normalizing,
6. Carburizing.
Melting temprature: 6400C,
Carburizing media 13- 15 % sodium cyanide + 85 % BaCl + NaCl

7.1 Hardening
For medium carbon steel and high carbon steel 8400C- 8500C
For other 770 8200C
Hardening is performed on the various metals and its alloys to provide them
with strength and wear resistance. It is accomplished by heating the component above
its hardening temperature and quenching it in water.

7.2 Quenching
Emercing hot metal in desired water or oil does quenching. Here transfer of
heat is ensured at slow rate so as to remove internal stresses to permissible limit.

7.3 Normalizing
In this process, iron alloy casting is heated to 50 60 0C above critical
temperature range. The casting is held for definite time and then allowed to cool in
still air. Normalization eliminates casting or cooling strains and resultant casting is
easy to machine.

7.4 Carburizing
Process of adding carbon to surface layer of the component is called
carburizing. It is the process of casehardening, which is addition of some elements
like carbon, nitrogen to the surface by diffusion for surrounding medium at high

19

temperature the purpose of carburizing is to obtain high surface wear resistance and
obtain a hard surface.

7.5 Tempering
For medium carbon steel and high carbon steel 6700 - 6800 C
for fasteners tempering to be done at 3500 4000 C for 1 2 hrs.
In tempering long grains formed during quenching are broken into smaller
grains so as to improve elasticity of the material. Here heating is done at around 180 0 2000 C for around 2 hrs. and then cool in air. It reduces internal stress and stabilizes
the structure of metal.

7.6 Annealing
For medium carbon steel and high carbon steel 6800 6900 C.

7.7 Case hardening

Carburizing + hardening.
7.7.1 Process used for blackening
1. Job is clean with cotton waste.

area

VIII. ENGINE ASSEMBLY AND TESTING

The engines of different models are assembled and tested in this shop as per
standard procedures.
20

8.1 Engine Assembly

In this shop, whole of the engine is completed and ready for the tractor
assembly. The various parts of engine from manufacturing section are brought in this
section and they are assembled to prepare the whole engine. The engine assembly can
be divided into following steps.
1. Washing of crank case with a special soap solution and drying it by means of
air jets.
2. Fitting of cylinder sleeve.
3. Fixing of studs and fitment of crank shaft in crank case.
4. Inserting pistons in cylinder sleeve.
5. Assembling the lubrication pump and fitment of cam shaft.
6. Mounting of flywheel with clutch assembly.
7. Fixing of cylinder head on the top of the cylinder sleeve.
8. Putting tappets, push rods and rocker arm for opening and closing the valves.
9. Attaching the fuel filters and oil filter.
10. Mounting the fuel injection pump and injection lines.
11. Fitting the self starter and alternator.
Now the engine is ready for testing. Among the all parts fuel injection system
is the heart of the engine.
8.1.1 Function of Injection Pump
The purpose of injection pump is the ensure injection of the flue at high
pressure in to cylinder space at certain instance and in correct amount. In gallery of
injection pump there are fitted in operates. The injection pump is driven from the
timing gear with shaft of injection pump to which it is connected with dog clutch. The
cams of the camshaft causes movement of plunger in their barrels by mean of roller
tappet to which plunger to is pressed with which rest at the lower spring late. The
barrels are secured against turning with pins roller tappet are secured with tannens of
roller which mesh with the grooves of pump body. Rollers which contact the camps
are fitted on pins. In the recesses of top part of roller tappets adjusting screw with nuts
are fitted by mean which the angular distribution of injection start of individual
plunger can be adjusted. The working space of barrel are closed with delivery valve
the tappers of which are pressed in to the valve bodies by means of spring with peg.
The delivery valve are tightened to the cylinder head with the cylinder neck
thread union to which the injection line is fixed connection the injection pump to
injector. The deliver amount of fuel is changed by turning plunger i. e. by length over
lapping the transverse intake orifice in barrel. The plunger is provide in its bottom
part with a plunger vane which mesh with recess of control sleeve. The control sleeve
21

gear with the teeth is mounted on the top part of control sleeve the teeth engaging into
gearing of common control rack. The sleeve is tightened to the control sleeve by a
screw. When the shifting the control rack plunger are turned their barrel and helix
formed on the plunger opens sooner or later the transverse (intake) orifice in the
barrel. In the plunger has been turned in such way that the transfer groove connection
the face of the plunger with the helix edge flushes with transverse orifice in the barrel.
The pump does not deliver any fuel and control rack is in its stop position. If the
control rack is in its opposite position he pump deliver the maximum amount of fuel.
At the side fuel gallery into intake parts a relief valve is mounted which maintains a
constant pressure of 1 kg/cm2 on the intake port and the excessive amount of fuel is
returned by this valve back to the tank. When starting the engine, by making the use
of excess fuel, starting spring is fitted in governor which returns the control rack is
obtained for the purpose of maximum delivery of fuel at maximum injection delay. At
the opposite side of drive, the output governor is mounted which serves for regulating
the engine output at higher performance revolutions. The range of governing is given
by variable speed of engine.
The governor controls the amount of injected fuel into the engine, with set up
revolutions, in accordance with the taken of power. Decrease or increase of
revolutions at a higher or lower load of engine is called unevenness of output
governor. If the governing spring is set up from operator place to certain revolutions,
the governor shift the link member of pump into such position which at a certain
instantaneous load of engine corresponds to these selected revolutions.

without producing any useful power. It represents the friction

13.

and pumping losses of an engine.

Mean effective pressure: it is the average pressure during the power stroke
minus the average pressure during other strokes. This pressure

14.

actually forces the piston down during the power stroke.

Volumetric efficiency: It is the ratio of actual weight of air introduced by the
engine on the suction stroke to the theoretical weight of air that
should have been introduced by filling the piston displacement

15.
16.

Internal combustion engine consists of number of parts which are given as below
1.
Cylinder: It is part of the engine which confines of the expanding gases and
forms the combustion space. It provides space in which piston operates to suck
2.

the air or air fuel mixture. Cylinders are usually made of high grade cast iron.
Cylinder block: It is the solid casting which includes the cylinder and water

3.

jackets.
Cylinder head: It is detachable portion of an engine which covers the cylinder

4.

and includes the combustion chamber, spark plug and valves.

Cylinder liner or sleeve:

It is cylindrical lining either wet or dry which is inserted in the cylinder

block in which the piston slides. Cylinder liners are fitted in the cylinder bore
and they are easily replaceable. The overhauling and repairing of the engines,

fitted with liners is easy and economical. Liners are classified as

Dry liner and
Wet liner
Dry liners make meal to metal contact with the cylinder block casting.
Wet liners are come in contact with the cooling water, where as dry liners do
not come in contact with the cooling water
Piston: it is cylinder part closed at one end which maintains a close sliding fit
in the engine cylinder. It is connected to the connecting rod by a piston pin.
The force of the expanding gases against the closed end of the piston , forces
the piston down in the cylinder. This causes the connecting rod to rotate the

crankshaft. Aluminum and its alloy are preferred to made piston.

Head (Crown) of piston: it is the top of the piston.
Skirt: it is that portion of the piston below the piston pin which is designed to
6.

absorb the side movements of the piston.

Piston rings: it is split expansion ring, placed in the groove of the piston. They
are usually made of cast iron or pressed steel alloy. the functions of the rings
are :
A) It forms a gas tight combustion chamber for all positions of piston.
B) It reduces contact area between cylinder wall and piston wall for preventing
friction losses and excessive wear.
C) It controls the cylinder lubrication.
24

D) It transmits the heat away from the piston to the cylinder wall.
Piston rings are of two types;
A) Compression ring and
B) Oil ring
7.
Piston pin: it is also called wrist pin or gudgeon pin . it is used to join the
connecting rods to the piston.. it provides a flexible or hinge like connection
between the piston and the connecting rod. It is usually made of case hardened
8.

alloy steel.
Connecting rod: it is special type of rod. One end of which is connected to
piston and the other to the crankshaft. It transmits the power of combustion to
the crankshaft and makes it rotate continuously. It is usually made of drop

9.

forged steel.
Crankshaft:

It is the main shaft of an engine which converts the reciprocating

motion of the piston in to rotary motion of the flywheel. Usually the
crankshaft made of drop forged steel or cast steel. Crankshaft is provided with
10.

counter weights throughout its length to have counter balance of the unit.
Flywheel: Fly wheel is made of cast iron. It stores energy during power stroke
and returns back the same energy during the idle strokes .engine timing marks
are usually stamped on the flywheel which helps in the adjusting the timing of

11.

engine.
Crankcase: the crankcase is that part of the engine supports and encloses the
crankshaft and camshaft: it provides the reservoir for the lubricating oil of the
engine. It also serves as a mounting unit for such accessories as the oil pump ,

12.

oil filter, generator, starting motor and ignition components.

Camshaft:

25

It is shaft that raises and lowers the inlet and exhaust valves at proper
time. The speed of the camshaft is exactly half the speed of crankshaft in four
stroke engine. It is mounted in the crankcase parallel to the crankshaft.
Timing gear: timing is a combination of gears one gear of which mounted at

13.

one end of camshaft and other gear on the end of crankshaft. Timing gear
controls the timing of ignition, timing of opening and closing of valves as well
14.

as fuel injection timing.

Inlet manifold: it is that part of engine through which air or air fuel mixture

15.

enters into the engine cylinder. It is fitted by the side of the cylinder head.
Exhaust manifold: it is that part of engine through which exhaust gases go out
from engine cylinder. It is fitted by the side of the cylinder head.

8.2 Engine testing

After assembly, engine is brought to engine testing section. In this section,
practical checking of engine is done on engine. Firstly the water supply is given to the
engine and then started it with external DC supply. During running the engine, the
load is varied and various terms are checked such as lubricating oil pressure, load
capacity, fuel consumption, torque, operating temperature, etc. Then proper operating
of valves is checked.

Lift Mounting

40

After mounting of axle on the differential lift is mounted on the main

transmission housing which is used for lift the load up to 1200kg and 1400kg. Drive is
given with the help of hydraulic pump which is set bottom of the MT housing. After
mounting left and right hand portals on the sides of differential housing, hydraulic lift
is mounted on the top of the differential housing hydraulic lift mainly consist of
kinematics systems that operates the distributor unit. The oil from the distributor unit.
Then, it follows two paths, inner circuit and outer circuit. The inner circuit is used for
lifting the plough as the putter circuit is used for trolley purpose for automatic loading
and unloading. The lift permits the simultaneous use of outer and inner circuit for
three positions, whereas;
P: Position control, D: Depth control and M: Mixed control.
Position control; in this system, constant depth of ploughing is maintained by
automatic adjustment of draft of tractor. In this system the control valves can be
operator directly by the driver to raise lower or hold an implement mounted on the
linkage at any chosen height.
Draft control: in this system the working depth of any implement can be controlled
continuously without the need for a depth wheel on the implement.
Mixed control: it is the combination of position control and draft control.
Oil is sent to ram cylinder for lifting the arms of the lift oil is entered in
distribution box and enters a gallery. From where oil goes to differential shaft through
binder valve and outer and inner valve at the same time from outer circuit valve, it
enters inner circuit gallery. Inner circuit gallery sends oil other gallery which has three
opening for Free circuit, Anti slip circuit and Lowering circuit.
Free circuit means, no work is being done and pump is working i. e throwing
oil with pressure. So free path circuit is provided to discharge oil and to protect the
pump from bursting.
41

Anti slip circuit is provided so that when the oil reaches the gallery having
differential bush, different quantity of oil is supplied for outer and inner circuit fort
lifting the arms of the lift. When the lift is lowered, the inner circuit valve changes its
position and allows the oil to go through lower circuit hole.
Engine Mounting
The tested ok engine after trial is send to the assembly shop, where it is
mounted on the gear box, and MT housing and portal assembly with the help of bolts.
Front Axle Mounting
1. Assembly front axle wheel hub, pivot, king pin, track record on the extension
along with locking devices, bush and bearings.
2. Connects these two connections with each other by the extension tube.
3. Assemble front axle bracket on the above arrangement with help of center pin.
4. Assemble all the parts with the tractor body.
Steering Assembly
Steering:- the system governing the angular movement of front wheel of tractor is
called steering system. This system minimizes the efforts of the operator in turning
the front wheel with the application of leverages.

Steering is used in tractor is screw and nut type steering. After mounting all
the accessories, steering is assembled on gear box.
There are two types of steering system are used in HMT Tractors.
1. Mechanical steering system.
2. Power steering system.

Steering geometry:
Various angles in steering geometry are
1. Caster angle: it is the angle between the centre line of the king pin of the
vertical line
2. Camber angle: it is the angle between the center line of the tyre and vertical
line.
42

3. King pin inclination angle: it is the angle between the vehicle line and the
king pin centre line is known as king pin inclination angle.
4. Toe in: it is the difference in the distance of the centre lines of the back end
and front end of front wheels of tractor.
5. Toe-out: toe-out is the spreading apart of the front wheels on turns. The
purpose of toe-out is to give correct turning alignment and to prevent
excessive tyre wear.

Brake assembly:This tractor having heavy duty self-energizing, water sealed disc with
spherical roller and ventilation pipe which gives better cooling. The ventilated results
in reduction of about 30% pad temperature. Brake housing cover containing two disc
made of asbestos base non-metallic. The max. temp. resistance about 300 degree C
between this two disc plate a cast iron plate is fixed which contain steel spherical
roller and hold by spring. Whenever brake is applied the spherical roller move are left
from there place in the plate and try to expanded the plate. During expanding of plate
the disc are strongly mounted on B.P left and B.P right shaft stop the speed of
differential. The also having actuators and link with rubber seal.
There are two types of brake system used in HMT Tractor.
1. Mechanical brake
2. Hydraulic brake
Hydraulic Brake and Floor Assembly
Hydraulic brake system is based on the principal of pascals law The brake
fluid which is usually a mixture of gylcerine and alchol is filled in the master
cylinder .when in the master cylinder is forced into the cylinder and the entire
system turns to a pressure system.Immediatly the piston of the wheel cylinder slides
outward which move the break shoes to stop the rotating drum. When the pedal is
released,the return spring of the a sudden pressure drop in the the line. The retracting
spring of the break shoe bring them back to their original position.Thus the piston of
the wheel cylinder returns back.
After assemble various accessories on the body Master cylinder and floor is
attached with body. Master cylinder is used for apply the force in the brake pads.
The basis component of hydraulic system.

Washing Zone, Drying Oven and Painting

After mounting all the parts on the body it sends to washing zone for remove
the unwanted material like dust and machining material.
After washing of the body, it sends to oven for drying the body where we dry
it. After drying the body painting is done on the body. Grey paint is used for painting
the body and the chassis.
Properties of paint
Base painting of chassis
Base hardness

: 7:1

Viscosity

: 20-24 sec.

Operating pressure : 5-6 Kgcm3

Thinner

: 20-30%

Greasing zone
Greasing is done all the greasing points with the help of pneumatic gun.
The following are the grease points:
8. Front wheel hub
9. Front axle extension
10. Front axle pin
11. Clutch shaft
12. Right hand stud
13. Three point linkage
14. Tie rod end
Three free play of foot brake is maintained 2mm.

Air Cleaner, Radiator and Fuel Tank

After washing and painting air cleaner and radiator mount on the tractor body.
Heavy duty type of air cleaner is used in the tractors.
This is of oil bath type cleaner. It consists of a filter element saturated with oil.
At the bottom there is separate oil pun. The air from atmosphere enter in to the gap
and when air takes turn it leaves the impurities there and after it impinging on the
surface of oil and leaves the impurities there and at last air pass through the filter and
cleaning of air is done.
Air Cleaner

After fitting the air cleaner radiator is attached with engine. The main purpose
of radiator is providing the cooling to the engine i.e. the remove the heat from engine.
Water and alcohol is used as coolant in the radiator.
Tyre Mounting
After attached all parts tyre is attached with tractors. After assembly the tyre
alignment of wheel is done.
Alignment parameter
Toe in of wheel 4 mm i. e. from front distance is constant and from the back
side the distance is increased 4 mm. 2 to 3 deg. camber is given to wheel.
Purpose of alignment
1. It provides good balancing to the tractor.
2. It prevent from wear and tear of tyres.
3. It helps in steering system.
After this, bonnet and electrical items are attached to the tractors.
Following electrical items are mounted,
8. Horn
9. Head Light
10. Brake Light
11. Parking Light
12. Plough Lamp
13. Direction Indicators
14. Dashboard pilot lamp.
After this, tractor is completed up to bridge out stage.

Suggestion for Quality Improvement of Tractor :

i.

Feedback to defects in tractor to concerned department must be given

ii.

immediately to curb the faults at manufacturing level.

Wash all the parts on the body in washing zone for remove the unwanted

iii.

material like dust and machining material.

Total material distribution system on tractor assembly line (stage wise should
be handled totally by P. P. C. to avoid the wastage of time and wastage of
material).

iv.

To avoid delays on assembly line, every component should be given after

v.

complete inspection to tractor assembly line.

Tractor assembly store like G.B. housing, M.T. housing & shifting of engine
etc. should be properly handled by expert person concerned to avoid the
wastage of material and proper accounting automatically.
