Utilizing a new tractor and tractor power train, a professor and classroom instructor demonstrates diesel fuel maintenance. It shows proper procedures for disassembly and service of both dry filter and oil bath systems. The importance of the air intake system and proper battery maintenance procedures are also discussed. It discusses owner manuals and maintenance schedules, oil selection, spectroscopic chemical analysis of the engine oil, oil and filter change, checking for leaks, importance of keeping dirt out of the engine and proper disposal of the old oil. Stressing safety and giving specific tips during procedures, the featured expert traces and engine's fuel lines, changes the fuel filter, bleeds the fuel valves, disassembles the injector nozzle and tests it, then reassembles the nozzle. Coverage of procedures necessary for maintenance of a diesel vehicle's cooling system demonstrates draining, flushing, and refilling of cooling systems. It shows how to perform the "valve clearance" procedure listed in a typical owner/operator manual. It begins by determining engine position in the compression cycle, using the flywheel and a pulley mark and discusses torquing the head bolts in the proper sequence, adjusting valve clearance, fitting the gasket, reattaching the cylinder head, and checking the PTO (without and with load) with a dynamometer.
