PREFACE
Industrial Training plays very much significant role in the course of engineering. It
provides the student during the engineering course a boost to enhance his technical skills,
abilities and creativity. Industrial training backens up the theoretical knowledge by
practical knowledge gained during the course. As is widely said, ounce of practical is
better than the tons of theory. In fact, both these two things are incomplete without
each other. In this report, I have tried my level best to present the work undertaken by me
during my training period in liquid, concise and precise manner. Engineering means
optimum utilization of resources for the achievement of the desired objectives. Projects
and some suggestions given by me in this report under the guidance of my Industrial
Tutor, Mr. SANDEEP SINGH is a step forward towards the definition of engineering.

TRACTOR
History of Tractor:In the year 1856, all such machines used for traction purposes were
known as traction motors and later in 1906 , these were designated as tractor by taking
half the word from traction , i.e. trac and the other half from motor , i.e. tor.
9

Definition of Tractor:The tractor is such a machine which is used to pull or push


agricultural implements in the fields.
Traction Formula:-

F = A.C + W. tan
Where,
F = Traction Force
A = Area of contact between tyre and soil
C = Cohesively of Soil,
= Angle of internal friction among soil particles

TRACTOR - A BRIEF INTRODUCTION


A wheeled, self-propelled vehicle for hauling other vehicles or equipment and for
operating the towed implements; also, a crawler, which runs on an endless, self-laid track
and performs similar functions.
A farm tractor is a multipurpose power unit. It has a drawbar for drawing tillage tools and
a power takeoff device for driving implements or operating a belt pulley. The acreage to
be worked, type of crops grown, and the terrain all impose their requirements on tractor
design. Accordingly, models vary in such details as power generated, weight, ground
clearance, turning radius, and facilities for operating equipment. All models can,
however, be grouped under four general types: four-wheel, row-crop or high-wheel,
tricycle, and crawler.
Tractors are rated by their horsepower they deliver at the drawbar and at the belt. On
small models, the drawbar and belt horsepower may run as low as 10 (7.5 kW); on large
models the drawbar horsepower runs as high as 132 (98 kW), while belt horsepower
reaches about 144 (107 kW).
The major components are engine, clutch, and transmission. These components are
intimately related and designed to work in conjunction with each other to accomplish
specific work. Tractor engines are relatively low-speed; their maximum horsepower is
generated at crankshaft speeds in the neighborhood of 2000 rpm. These engines have one,
two, three, four, six, or eight cylinders and operate on gasoline, kerosene, liquid
petroleum gas, or diesel fuel. They are of the spark-ignition or diesel type, operating on
the four-stroke-cycle principle, and are cooled by water or air.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels or to all four wheels. Drive to the front wheels is
mechanical or hydrostatic, its purpose being to increase drawbar pull at the will of the
operator. Transmissions have 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, or 12 forward speeds and one or two
reverse gears. Clutch less hydraulic transmissions are also used, making it possible to
10

shift gears while in motion. Vehicle speeds are low, ranging from slightly more than 1
mi/h (1.6 km/s) to about 18 mi/h (28 km/h) in high gear.
The basic design of an industrial tractor for hauling and for operating construction
equipment departs little from that of a farm tractor, and differences in design of models fit
the vehicle to its intended work. Because high ground clearance is not needed for
industrial work, the tractor is commonly built with a lower center of gravity and is
capable of traveling a few miles per hour faster than a farm tractor. If its use is confined
to hauling, it may not be equipped with hydraulic power. If it is to be used for operating a
scraper, backhoe, or front-end loader, its structure may be heavier and more rugged.

7) Various terminology about tractor.

Main Assemblies of Tractor :Engine :- Engine is a set of mechanical devices which convert chemical energy into heat
energy and heat energy into mechanical energy. Engine provides the source of power to
drive the tractor .Sonalika engines are Compression ignition , Water cooled ,Four stroke,
Diesel engines.
Clutch :- Clutch is fitted between the engine and gearbox and is used to connect or
disconnect the engine drive to the gearbox.
Transmission :- Gearbox is fitted in the tractor to increase the driving torque so as to
enable the tractor to pull more load. In the gearbox housing ,differential and reduction
gears are also fitted. The differential helps to take a turn without its inner wheel spinning
while the reduction gear fitted further increases the driving torque to the wheel.
Wheels :- Two wheels are fitted to the front axle and two rear wheels to the reduction
gear shaft , drive is transmitted through the rear wheels . For better traction in tractors ,
rear tyres are provided with high lugs.
Front Axle :- Front axle is fitted at the front of the tractor and the two stub axles fitted at
either end through which the steering linkage is connected and wheels are steered.
Steering System :- Steering system enables the operator to steer the tractor to right or
left as the case may be.The steering unit in power steering tractor is hydrostatic i.e. there
is no mechanical connection between steering column and steered wheels .Instead there
are hydraulic pipes and hoses between steering unit and steering cylinders.When the
steering wheel is turned , the steering unit meters an oil volume propotional to the rate of
rotation of steering wheel.This volume is directed to the appropriate side to the steering
cylinder, while simultaneously the displaced oil is directed to tank.
Brake System :- Brake system provided in the tractor so as to enable the operator to
stop the moving tractor or slow down the speed when required.
Electrical System :- Electrical system provided in the tractor enables it to work in the
night through the electricity produced by dynamo. Moreover , engine is also started
through self starter which draws its electric current through batteries.
Hydraulic Lift :- With the help of hydraulic power the implements are raised or lowered
Down or their depth is controlled.
Power Take Off :- Provision is made in the tractor to drive stationary or moving
implements such as Sprayer, Duster, etc.
13

Technical Terms :1) Track :- It is the distance between centres of front two tyres.
2) Ground Clearance :- It is the clear smallest distance from the deepest point of the
axle to the level ground .
3) Wheel Base :- It is the distance between centres of hubs of front and rear wheels.
4) Height of Frame :- It is the distance from the upper edge of the frame from the
ground level.

BASIC TERMINOLOGY OF AN ENGINE


Bore :-

Internal diameter of cylinder liner is known as bore.

Stroke :-

The distance traveled by piston from TDC to BDC or from BDC to TDC is
called stroke.
T.D.C. (Top Dead Center)

:- It is the position from where piston cannot move further up.

B.D.C. (Bottom Dead Center)

:- It is the position from where piston cannot move further

down.
C.C.(Cubic Capacity)

:- It is the volume swept by the piston in one stroke.

Idle R.P.M.:- R.P.M. at no load and no accelerator. It is required R.P.M. for just keeping
the engine in starting position without doing any kind of work.
Maximum R.P.M. :- R.P.M. at no load and full accelerator.
Rated R.P.M.:- R.P.M. at full load and full accelerator .At this R.P.M. , engine develops
its maximum power.
Maximum Load R.P.M.:- R.PM. at full accelerator and max. load . At this point ,
engine take up maximum load.
HORSE POWER :- If the rate of doing work is 75 kg-m/sec = 746 (I.S.) & 735.5 watt
(S.A.E.).
B.H.P.(Brake Horse Power) :- It is the power available at the engine flywheel.It is also
known as the input power.

Back up Torque :- Reserved torque in the engine with respect to the torque at
maximum power of engine OR Torque reserved in the engine after developing maximum
power. When we increase the load further after rated rpm condition then only torque
increases, rpm decreases.
Back up Torque = (Max. Torque Full Torque )

--------------------------------------- X 100 %
Full Torque
Specific Fuel Consumption: - The fuel consumed by the tractor for developing 1 HP of
power in 1 hour. Its units are gm/bhp/hr. The value to attain SFC is max. 200gm/bhp/hr.
Spill Timing: - It is the point from where the injectors begin to inject the fuel into the
combustion chamber.
Tappet clearance: - It is the clearance between the rocker arm and the tappet when the
value is in the closed position.
Valve Clearance: - It is the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve when the
valve is in the closed position.
Bumping clearance: - It is clearance between the top of the piston and the cylinder head.
It remains 1.9-2.1 mm.
Back compression: - It is the leakage of compression through the piston ring via
crankcase breather.
Blow-by: - It is the escaping of hot gases/vapors through the crankcase breather provided
in the crankcase.
Lapping Position: - It is the position when both the inlet and exhaust valve remain open
that position is called lapping position.
ALFIN PISTON: - The piston in which upper groove is inserted with aluminum and
ferrous materials.
Speed Drop: - Speed at full load speed at no load.

FEATURES OF SONALIKA TRACTOR


18

THE COMPLETE AND BALANCED TRACTOR:1) Well Balanced Tractor: - Sonalika is a balanced tractor due to proper
distribution of weight which enables its rear tyres to firmly grip the ground and
prevents slippage on being overloaded.
2) Maximum Wheel Base :- Sonalika tractor has maximum wheel base, so it
doesnt lift up in front and pulls heavy load on steep slopes while maintaining its
balance. Whereas all other tractors have small wheel base which lifts-up their
front side while moving the uphill.
3) Maximum Ground Clearance :- As Sonalika tractor has maximum ground
clearance it does not damage the standing crop while ploughing and weeding out.
Due to this reason , it easily crosses the bunds in the field while moving in the
field.
4) High Back up Torque :- The back up torque of Sonalika tractor is highest
.Back up torque is the reserved torque stored in engine after developing
maximum power. This is the reason a 35 HP Sonalika tractor works as efficiently
as a 50 HP tractor of any other company.
5) Smoke Emission is Less :- Sonalika tractor emits very less smoke even at high
loads.
6) Doesnt Break Motion :- Sonalika tractor doesnt break motion or does not stop
even after 1000 rpm drop .
7) High Pulling Power :- Due to high pulling power of Sonalika tractor, it is able
to turn at corners of field without lifting up the cultivator.
8) Maximum Yield :- Sonalika tractor is very efficient in deep ploughing which
gives maximum yields and minimum weeds.

DRAWBACKS OF COMPITITORS OF SONALIKA


21

MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA


This is a unbalanced tractor whose proof is that company given front weights in spite of
which it gives front lifting which is very dangerous for operators. In the condition of
sudden load tractor stops due to less TBU. Due to high engine RPM there is more wear
and tear and needs frequent over-hauling Hydraulic operations are not performed
correctly and problem of hydraulic hunting is normally observed which causes high
diesel consumption and more tyre wear. Engine oil is less, which causes lesser cooling,
and engine components get wear out early.

TAFE:Light weight tractor causes an increase in diesel consumption and more tyre wear.
Gear section being lighter is a reason for inefficiency to trail heavy implements or trolley.
Less ground clearance causes a hindrance in pudding and riding in rough terrain.
Lesser wheelbase cause front lifting even on attaching a small implement.

FARMTRAC:High diesel consumption.


Costly spares and high on maintenance cost.
Having a lesser weight &length the tractor gives front lifting on attaching heavy
implements.
Rear side is light in weight causes more wear of tyre and lesser area coverage.

SAWARAJ:High diesel consumption even on fewer loads.


Tractors give smoke even on fewer loads.
Having old technology manufacturing is continuously reducing sale.
Costly spare parts and maintenance.
Have gone through no changes in design and having a similar bonnet & fender gives a
look like a tin box.

JOHN DEERE:Lesser wheelbase causes front lifting which is not good for drivers security.
Costly and non-availability of spare parts.
At turning, there is a heavy drop in engine RPM, which cause load on engine and reduce
engine life.

22

NEW HOLLAND:Speed reduction is not direct so power loss is grater.


At turning there is a heavy drop in engine RPM which cause load on engine and reduce
engine life.

DROP BOX
This is a device used in four wheel drives of the tractor.
This is a device that splits power between the front and rear axis on four wheel drive .
The drop box is as- wheel drive system contains a device that allows for a speed
difference between the front and rear wheels.
These devices allow an all wheel drive system to function properly on any surface.
The drop box on a part time four wheel drive system lock the front axle drive to the rear
axle drive shaft , so the wheels are forced to spin at the same speed.
This requires that the tyres slip when the vehicle goes around the turn .
Part time systems like this should only be used in low traction situations in which it is
relatively easy for the tyres to slip.
On dry concrete , it is not easy for the tyres to slip ,so the four- wheel drive should be
disengaged in order to avoid jerky turns and extra wear on the tyres and drive train.

TRANSFER CASE
A transfer case is unique to 4 wheel drive vehicles, and is what directs power to both
needs (axles ) of the vehicle through two separate drive shafts . Two wheel drives dont
need a transfer case as drive comes directly out of the transmission to the drive wheels.
The transfer case is attached to the rear of the transmission and gets its input directly
from the transmission . Power is directed from the engine through the transmission and
then through the transfer case to either rear wheels or both front and rear wheels .
This is accomplished inside the transfer case by either the chains or gears .
In any case , a 4- wheel drive vehicle will have a selection of two gears ranges.
This is called High range and Low range.
This is one of the characteristics that distinguish 4 wheel Drive from All wheel
Drive.
As the transfer case accepts input from the transmission , and the Hi-Low range is in Hi
position , the transfer case uses highest gear ratio. This ratio is usually near of exactly 1-1
ratio.( Same input and output speed of the transfer case i.e no speed reduction and no
torque multiplication).
If the driver chooses the 2WD Mode of the transfer case , power is transferred to only the
rear wheels , leaving the front drive shaft without any driving duties .
If the driver chooses the 4-Hi Mode of the transfer case ,the front drive shaftis engaged
inside the transfer and power is now transferred to both the rear and front wheels ,
allowing the front and rear wheels to pull the vehicles.
When the driver selects the 4 Low Mode , the second gear ratio is used and power is
directed to both the rear and front axle.
The lower gear ratio is used when a multiplication of torque is required for steeper hills
or when more engine power must be used to pull the vehicle.

1. CLYINDER BLOCK
The cylinder block and crankcase from a single casting, which gives a rigid structure.
Ribs are cast in the crankcase to give it extra strength and to support the main and, in
some case the crankshaft bearing. A cylinder block consists of three parts:
a) The cylinder bore in which the piston slide up and down.
b) The ports or openings for the valves.
c) The passages for the flow of cooling water.
d) Passage for lubrication
The round cylinder surfaces are given precision mirror finish by accurate grinding and
honing processes.

2. CYLINDER HEAD
The top of the cylinder is covered by a separate cast piece known as cylinder head.
Cylinder head is bolted to the top of the cylinder block. It contains combustion chamber.
The bore of the cylinder or liner should not be distorted by the pull of the holding down
studs. The circulation of coolant in the cylinder head should be carried as nearly as
possible to the top end. To ensure a sound gas tight joint, the holding down studs must be
distributed as uniformly as possible around the circumference of each cylinder.

3. CRANK SHAFT
Crankshaft is the first part in the power transmission system on to which the reciprocating
motion of the piston is converted into the rotating motion with the help of connecting rod.
A crankshaft consists of crankpins, webs (crankarms or cheeks) balancing weight and
main journals. Big end of the connecting rod is connected to the crankpin of the
crankshaft. Centre to centre distance between the crankpin and crankshaft is half of the
piston displacement, during a stroke. Thus, one complete revolution of the crankshaft
makes two strokes of the piston. The part of the crankshaft inside the main bearings is
called the main journals.

4. CAM SHAFT
A camshaft is simply a shaft on which cams are mounted. The camshaft is mounted in
bearings in the lower part of the cylinder block in most in-line engines. In a few engines
it is located on the cylinder head. In V-8 engines it is located between the two banks of
cylinders. A cam is a device that changes rotary motion of the camshaft into linear motion
of the follower or lifter. The cam has high spot or lobe. The follower riding on the cams
will move away from or toward the camshaft as the cam rotates.
31

A camshaft is responsible for opening the valves. A camshaft has a number of cams along
the length, two cams for each cylinder, one to operate the inlet valve and the other the
exhaust valve. In addition, the camshaft has an eccentric to operate the fuel pump a gear
to drive the ignition distributor and oil pump. This gives 1:2 gear ratio, the camshaft turns
at half the speed of the camshaft.

5. CRANKCASE
Crankcase is attached to the bottom face of the cylinder block. It acts as the base of the
engine. It supports the crankshaft and camshaft in suitable bearings and provides the arms
for supporting the engine on the frame. The oil pan and the lower part of the cylinder
block together are called crankcase.

6. PISTON
Piston is considered to be one of the most important parts in a reciprocating engine in
which it helps to convert the chemical energy obtained by the combustion of fuel into
useful mechanical power. The purpose of the piston is to provide a means of conveying
the expansion of the gases to the crankshaft, Via the connecting rod, Without loss of gas
from above or oil from below. Piston is essentially a cylindrical plug that moves up and
down in the cylinder. It is equipped with piston ring to provide a good seal between the
cylinder wall and piston. Although the piston appear to be a simple part, it is actually
quite complex from the design stand point.

7. PISTON RINGS
Piston rings are fitted into the grooves of the piston to maintain good seal between the
piston and the cylinder wall. There are three functions of piston rings as follows:
1. To provide a pressure seal to prevent blow-by of burnt gases. Blow-by is the name
that describes the escape of burnt gases from the combustion chamber, past the
piston, and into the crankcase.
2. To from the main path for conduction of heat from the piston crown to the cylinder
walls.
3. To control the flow of oil to the skirt and rings themselves in adequate quantity
while preventing an excessive amount reaching the combustion chamber with
consequent waste and carbonization.

8. CONNECTING ROD
The connecting rod is the connecting between the piston and the crankshaft. It joins the
piston pin with the crankpin. Small end of the connecting rod is connected to the piston
pin and big end to the crank pin. The function of the connecting rod is to convert linear
motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crankshaft.
The connecting rod usually has I-beam cross-section, and is made of forged steel.
Aluminum alloy is also used for connecting rods. They are carefully matched in sets of
uniform weight in order to maintain engine balance. The lighter the connecting rod and
the piston, the greater the resulting power and the less the vibration because the
32

reciprocating weight is less. The connecting rod carries the power thrust from piston to
the crank pin and hence it must be very strong, rigid and as light as possible. The cap is
secured to the body of the connecting rod by two bolts and nuts.

9. CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS


A gasket is placed between the cylinder head and cylinder block to retain compression in
the cylinder, to prevent leakage and to ensure metallic tight fit joint. The gasket should be
able to withstand not only high pressure but also extreme temperature.
Following important gaskets are in automobile engines:
1. Copper-asbestos gasket.
2. Steel-asbestos gasket.
3. Steel-asbestos-copper gasket.
4. Single steel ridged or corrugated gasket.
5. Stainless steel gasket.

10. FLYWHEEL
A flywheel is a fairly heavy steel wheel attached to the rear end of the crankshaft. The
size of the flywheel depends upon the number of cylinders and the general construction
of the engine. The function of the flywheel in a better way, take the example of a fourstroke, single-cylinder engine. There are times when more power is being delivered than
at other times. This tends to make the crankshaft speed up and then slow down. The
engine delivers power during one stroke only-the power stroke, and it absorbs power
during the other three strokes-to push out the exhaust gases, to intake fresh charge in the
cylinder and to compress this charge. Thus, during power stroke the engine tends to speed
up and during the other three strokes it tends to slow down.

11. OIL SUMP


The bottom half of the crankcase is called the oil pain or sump. It is bolted or screwed to
the lower flange of the main casting and usually is made of pressed steel or aluminium.
The oil pan serves as a reservoir for the storage, cooling and ventilation of engine
lubricating oil.

12. CYLINDER LINER


The problem of cylinder wear is considerable and this has been solved by the use of
cylinder liners. The cylinder liners are in the form of barrels made up of special alloy iron
containing silicon, manganese, nickel and chromium. They are cast centrifugally. The
cylinder liners are of the two types-dry liners and wet liners.

13. PISTON PIN


Piston pin or wrist pin or gudgeon pin connects the piston and the small end of the
connecting rod. Piston pin generally hollow and made from case hardened steel heat
treated to produce a hard, wear resisting surface.

Firstly, five minutes engine is run at 700 rpm without load.


For 10 minutes at 1000 rpm and 25% load.
For 15 minutes, it is run at 1500 rpm and 50%load.
For 10 minutes to be run at 1800 rpm and load 75%.
After this cycle engine is stopped.

38

Then cylinder head nuts is re- torque with the help of torque wrench (18 kgm to 21 kg
meter). Tappet clearance is done with the help of filler gauge For Cam shaft diameter
38 clearance is set (Inlet and exhaust valve -0.25 mm).For Cam shaft diameter 42
clearance is set for inlet manifold 0.3 and for exhaust -0.4.
Engine is started again for 40 minutes at different load and speed:1) For five minutes engine is run at 1000 rpm and load 50%.
2) For ten minutes engine is run at 2000 rpm and load 80%.
3) For ten minutes engine is run at 2000-2200 rpm and load 100%.
During running of engine at different rpm the following reading, we take:1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)

Rpm is noted from RPM meter


Torque is noted from Torque meter.
Fuel consumption is noted from fuel consumption unit.
Engine water, outlet temperature is noted from temperature digital gauge.
Engine run at idle speed for 15 minutes to check lubrication oil pressure.
From above reading, we calculate BHP, SFC and TBU.

1) BHP:- RPM * Torque/7023.746


2) SFC:-To produce 1 HP in one hour the amount of fuel consumed is called specific
fuel consumption.
SFC = 297000/bhp* fuel time in sec. gm/hp/sec.
3) Back up Torque = Max. Torque Rated Torque / Rated Torque*100.
If observed parameters of engine satisfies the standard values than that engine is
excepted if it does not satisfy the standards. Those engines send to engine rework
During testing if any component is found faulty, the same is changed and rejected
component is sent to engine assembly for N.C report. Select any engine of regular
production, run it for 50 HRS endurance, Test at 100% load, and rated RPM.
Test man generate the performance data in engine testing report i.e. code qf/75/64.
Fit bell housing and hydraulic pump and send the engine-to-engine store.
Certain points should be remembered during engine testing:1) Engine RPM should not drop less than 50 and more than 200.
2) Water temperature should not exceed 78c.
3) Lubrication oil pressure at normal working condition should in between 0.5 to 4.5
kg/cm and may exceed 6 kg/cm.
4) Dynamometer water inlet pressure in between 0.5 to 1 kg/cm.

DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING ASSEMBLY PHASE


It is rear part of the tractor cheesy. The main function of differential in tractor to reduce
the final speed and to turn the drive round at 90 degree. The reduction of speed is done in
two stages. First stage reduction in tail pinion and crown wheel meshing and second stage
reduction in bull gear meshing with left and rights B.P.shaft. Its also consisting the P.T.O.
shaft (Power take off shaft), which is used to run the thrashers, pumps Rotavator, and
other accessory components with the help of pulley attached on it.
Following are main parts of differential housing: (A) Crown wheel.

(B) Tail pinion.

(C) Cage assembly. (With sun, planet gears and cross)


(D) P.T.O. shaft.

(E) B.P. shaft left.

(F) B.P. shaft right.

(G) Bull gears.

(H) Bevel gears.

(I) Bearings.

(J) Bearing cones.

(K) Brakes housing assembly (with disc and etc).

(L) Oil seals, gaskets and fasteners etc.

ASSEMBLY OF CASE CROWN WHEEL: First components are washed with oil to remove the dirty particles. Cage having two
dowel holes in these holes dowels is tightening fitted for accurate fitting of crown so that
all other holes of cage and crown come into same line. The crown wheel is pressed on
cage with hydraulic press and then tightens by bolts with lock washer. Then right bevel
gear is placed on their cage seat. The four planet gears are put on cross with washer and
then this assembly put on their placed on cage. Then placed left bevel gear on planet on
gear. Operator to check the motion of gears does manual inspection. Cage left is placed
on left side of right cage assembly and then tightens by bolts and washer.

TAIL PINION ASSEMBLY: First in T.P. assembly, the cone for taper roller bearing is pressed with hydraulic press.
The bearing is heated before the tight fit. Then tail pinion is inserted inside bearing. The
diff. size shims are also placed before the tighten of rear cover of cage. Whole assembly
is tightening by nuts and bolts.

51

REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY: In rear axle assembly of tractor the bolts are tight fitted in holes of hub. Where the rear
tire is tighten with their bolts to whole assembly. For tight fitting the hydraulic press is
used and 120-kg\cm sq. forces is apply. Two bearing either side of trumpet housing are
tighten at their respective place of cone. The rear axle is passed through these two bearing
with seal in trumpet. The cove is used to cover the open side of trumpet housing (hub
side). The inner side bearing is lubricated with oil and outer bearing is lubricated with
grease.

BRAKING 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% in pad temperature. Brake housing cover contain two disc made of asbestos base
non-metallic. The max. Temp. Resistance about 300 degree C b\w these two disc plate a
cast iron plate is fixed which contain steel spherical roller and hold by spring. When ever
brake is applied the spherical roller move or lift from there place in the plate and try to
expanded the plate. During expanding of C.I. plate the disc are strongly mounted on
B.P.left and B.P. right shaft to stop the speed of differential. It also having actuators and
link with rubber seal.

P.T.O. SHAFT ASSEMBLY: Two bearings are tightly fit on P.T.O.shaft at their proper placed with help of circlip lock,
which provided on both side of bearing first of all the P.T.O. shaft assembly is pass
through rear P.T.O. hole of differential housing. Then two cones are one on B.P. left and
other on B.P. right shafts hole side inserted tightly. The B.P. left and right shaft assembly
is placed through their hole then cage housing of differential is placed b\w left anted right
B.P. shaft. The seal carrier with different size of shims is tightening by bolts on both side
of differential housing (right and left B.P. shaft side). Then pre loading test is done with
10 kg force to rotate the cage assembly. If pre load force is increase the efficiency of
taper bearing is decrease due to over friction b\w cage of bearing if decrease pre load
force then the efficiency of taper bearing also decrease due to less contact with cover
cage of bearing. Then tail pinion assembly is inserted in to respective hole with shims and
tail pinion teethes meshed with crown wheel teethes.
Following three testing is done: (A) Back lash testing.

(B) %Age of contact.

(C) Pattern test


52

BACK LASH TESTING: This test is performed with help of plunger dial gauge. Backlash in crown wheel is not
more then 20 to 30 micron if it is deviated from this value then packing is change on
either side (left or side) of cage of bearing housing. But never change the number of
shim. If backlash is more then 30 micron then shims from right side is removed and
shifted in to left side. If it is less then 20 micron then vice versa.

%AGE OF CONTACT TEST AND PATTERN TEST: Pattern test and %age contact test is done with help of yellow paint apply on teethes of
crown wheel. Then rotating crown wheel with hand %age contact and pattern of tail
pinion is impressed on the teeth of wheel. The %age of contact is 60% to 70% required. It
can be increase or decrease by using the shims by fastening it on tail pinion carrier. When
increase in number of shims the pattern goes increase and vice versa.

PARTS OF DIFFRENTIAL
DIFFERENTIAL

DIFFERENTIAL PARTS:
1) Tail pinion: It transmits the power from the output shaft of gearbox to the crown
wheel.

2) Crown wheel: It gives housing to the cage assembly where differential action takes
place.

3) Differential cage: It gives housing to the spider kit i.e. cross, star, sun pinion.
4) Cross: Its remains fixed in cage assembly and support the motion of the star pinion.
5) Star pinion: Distributes the power between sun pinion according to load applied by
them. Consist four-star gear.

6) Sun pinion: Transmits power from star pinion to bull pinion shaft. Consist four-star
gears.

7) Bull pinion shaft: Gives power to the bull gear and bear the action of break.
54

8) Bull gear: Transmits power from bull pinion shaft to rear axle.
9) Rear axle: Transmits power from bull pinion shaft to rear wheel.
10) Differential lock: Differential lock is made on bull pinion shaft a hollow shaft
and we provide an extra coupler assembly in differential. When differential is free from
lock the coupler are in disengaged position and when we apply the differential lock
couplers are in engaged position.

11) Break: - In differential, we use two kinds of brakes according to HP (Horsepower)


of tractors and specifications by customer.
1) Dry brakes.
2) OIL Immersed brakes.
1) Dry brakes:- In a dry brakes two discs and two break liners are assembled along
with steel balls in brake housing. It is attached with rocker shaft assembly when
brake is pressed than rocker shaft stops bull gear and rear wheels get stop. In
tractors mechanical brakes are employed. In dry brakes, wear and tear of disc is
more because heat dissipation is more due to friction and cooling is less.
2) OIL Immersed brakes:- OIL Immersed brake consists of a housing bolted to the
vehicle frame containing four discs with an actuating assembly between the two
discs. The discs have lining material on each face and a splinted shaft running
through the housing drives them. The actuating assembly is composed of two
plates separated by hardened steel ball located in recess in the plates, and the
assembly is held by short springs. The lugs on the actuating plates are connected
to the yoke or jaw end on the pull rod by two links. In oil immersed brakes wear
and tear is less as compared to dry brakes.

TYPES OF BEARINGS USED IN GEAR BOX:1) BALL BEARING: - It is used to provide high speed.
2) Taper roller bearing: - It is provided for high load.
3) Needle bearing: - It gives straightness to the shaft.

CLUTCH ACUTATOR (C.A.) ASSEMBLY: C.A. assembly contains clutch actuator guide on which the bearing is tighten , fitted and
locked with circlip. Inner bush is placed and hold it with C.A. guider springs.

DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:In some agriculture equipment like potato cultivator etc-required continuous power from
P.T.O. shaft but in single clutch, it is not possible because when we press clutch it slow
down the speed of tractor. The lay shaft is disconnected which further stops the working
of P.T.O.shaft, which is connected to the lay shaft but in double clutch intermediate shaft
is placed over the input shaft, which is connected to the connecting shaft through gear Z43. The power in this case is transferred through connecting shaft. Now two clutches are
there which have different setting on clutch lever. The first press of the clutch will stop
the power transmission to lay shaft through input shaft, which further stops the power
transmission to the differential, but seconded clutch is connected to the intermediate
shaft, which transmits the power from connecting shaft to P.T.O. shaft

60

Types of gears used and assembled in plant:-

SLIDING MESH GEAR


In this transmission, the power comes from the engine to the clutch shaft and hence to the
clutch gear which is always in mesh with a gear on the lay shaft. All the gear on the lay
shaft are fixed to it and as such they are all the time rotating when engine is running and
clutch is engaged. Three direct speeds and one reverse speed are attained on suitably
moving the gear on the main shaft by means of selector mechanism. In tractor, we are
providing extra planet carrier for HI-LOW. In a High low gear, we provide one internal
gear with sleeve that accomplish the engagement and disengagement of high and low
gears. In a sliding, mesh gears
Spur gear are used so gears can easily slide as well mesh to each other so power can
distribute according to the gear ratio.

61

CONSTANT MESH GEAR BOX

In this type of gearbox, all the gears of the main shaft are in constant mesh with the
corresponding gears of the intermediate shaft. Two dog clutches are provided on the main
shaft-one between the clutch gear and the second gear, and the other between the first
gear and reserve gear. The main shaft is splined and all the gears are free on it. Dog
clutch can slide on the shaft and rotate with it. All the gears on the counter shaft are
rigidly fixed with it.
When the left hand dog clutch is made to slide to the left by means of the gearshift lever,
it meshes with the clutch gear and the top speed gear is obtained. When the left hand dog
clutch meshes with the second gear, the second speed gear speed is obtained. Similarly,
by sliding the right hand dog clutch to the left and right, the first speed gear and reserve
gear are obtained respectively.
In this type of gear box, because all the gear are in constant mesh, they are safe from
being damaged and unpleasant grinding sound does not occur while engaging and
disengaging them. In tractors, we are providing the hi-low shaft for variation in power.
During HIGH, the power coming from the transmission is direct send it to differential
through the hi-low intermediate shaft. During low, the power is first transmitted to hi-low
lay shaft or counter and then it is transmitted to the differential.

HYDRAULIC
DEFINITION: The system where fluid properties are used for transferring the power.
PARTS OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
There are the four part of hydraulic system.
1. Controller-It controls the oil in the system and control valve assembly, R.V.
housing, lever assembly, sensor assembly, etc.
2. Converter- It converts the hydraulic power of oil into the mechanical power to
do the work (ram cylinder, three point linkage)
3. Shifter-It ensures the safety of the system(safety valve, relief valve, release
valve)
4. Supplier- Supplier the supply the oil from pump to delvers pipes
Rear cover assembly is used to cover the differential housing. It contains lift control
system, which is hydraulically operated. The response valve housing (R.V.) control valve,
cylinder and other components assembly fitted inner and outer side of rear cover
assembly. The main components are fitted in rear cover assembly
(a) Control valve assembly.

(b) R.V. housing assembly.

(c) Hydraulic cylinder and piston assembly with lift arm.


(d) Operating sector assembly.

(e) Sensor tube assembly.

(f) Gaskets, bolts, nuts.

(g) Other components.

RAM CYLINDER ASSEMBLY:It contain cylinder for single lever with piston inserted in side the cylinder. The relief
valve assembly is mounted at top front of cylinder. The connecting rod is placed in piston
rear side and one side is locked with ram arm assembly. A rock arm, spacer and seals are
placed. At the end of rock arm assembly lift arm assembly is placed on the splinted and
then locked with bolts on both side.

R.V. HOUSING ASSEMBLY:It contain the response valve which having different valves and components are placed at
their respective place. It contains one response valve, check valve and realize valve. Two
dome nuts are placed at their respective place. It is also connected with control valve
through pipe housing. The knob is placed at top of response valve to close or open the
response valve as per requirements.
67

CONTROL SECTOR ASSEMBLY:


-It contains the draft crank assembly, which is placed through the hollow position crank
assembly. Both these assembly are connected to their lever. The position crank assembly
is connected to black mark lever and draft crank assembly is connected to red mark lever.
All assembly is fastened with bolts, nuts, washer and locknuts.

COUPLER ASSEMBLY:In coupler assembly, a draft rod having a flange and position rod contains spring on it.
Draft rod assembly is connected to the draft lever and position rod to position lever
through the control valve. Whole assembly is fitted inside rear cover.
First rear cover is mounted on the moving trolley and tight with bolts. The control sector
assembly is placed at there respecting place with actuator shaft and compiler assembly. A
sensor tube with burn is placed at rear side of rear cover. Then a ram cylinder assembly in
haunted inside rear cover.R.V.housing is placed out side rear cover, which is connected to
control value through pipes. All other components assembly is a placed their respective
place control value container three value i.e. Back measure value (3-6kgf) unloading
value and scroll value. When oil from pump goes into R.V.housing through pipes, which
is further connected, to the check value through inner hole of R.V.housing and
Backpressure value of control values. The opening pressure of check value is 9-12kgf and
opening pressure of backpressure value is 3-6kgf. During un-operated position, the oil is
continuously. Through the backpressure value of control valve.
During operating of position arm the unloading valve, close the gallery of oil to back
pressure valve. Thus the pressure in R.V.housing built up which open the check valve at
9-12kgf. As this position, the oil goes in the Ram cylinder, which further operates the lift
arm. For required of any position lift the knob of response value of
R.V.housing is rotate which cut the supply of oil and the position of ram arm is got.
Sensor tube is work in field working during ploughing of shaft nature soil with harrow
and when harrow deeply dug in soil, which over load the tractor. However, to avoid
deeply dug of harrow in soil. The draft is set at there position through sensor tube. The
rocker arm attached to sensor and harrow link, which push the sensor tube inside and
automatically control value control oil supply.

WORKING OF HYDRAULIC LIFT AT VARIOUS STAGES WHICH


ARE:A) NEUTRAL POSITION
B) RAISING POSITION
C) LOWERING POSITION

68

A) NEUTRAL POSITION: - when engine starts oil is sucked by hydraulic pump


from oil reservoir and is discharged through delivery pipe into inlet port of RV
housing. In hydraulic system it has two passages, one going towards back
pressure valve and other two the check valve. When both valves closed pressure
starts developing inside the system. When it exceeds the limit of 3-6 kg/cm back
pressure valve opens and oil starts flowing to the ports of unloading valve towards
reservoir.

B) RAISING POSITION:- When we move position lever towards upper direction


then spool valve pushed to inner side. Ports of spool valve get opened
consequently. Oil exerts pressure on unloading spring through these ports. as a
result unloading valve moves in and close the ports of back pressure valve and oil
rushes to check valve and open the check valve. Further oil enters into the ram
cylinder. It pushes the piston upwards and three point linkage moves up.

69

C)LOWERING POSITION:-when we move position lever at down side then spool


valve moves outward and port of spool valve comes at its initial position and oil
rushes to the reservoir through spool valve gallery, unloading valve spring comes in
its initial position and oil passes to the back pressure valve and then to the reservoir.

PAINT SHOP
INTRODUCTION: -

Paint gives protection to tractor from corrosion for enhancing the appearance for a longer
period and at the same time it protects the body from rust. the paint consists of
linseed oil, pigment (as per requirement of master piece) and turpentine oil or some other
solvent to thin the mixture. Magnesium silicate is also added to impart improved
resistance to cracking of the paint film. The drying time hardness and elasticity of paint
film depend principally on the drying oil, temperature of oven, and the time for which it
is kept in the oven. The procedure and process chart of sheat metal and chassis are
illustrated below-

THE PROCESS: The product development department collects information from any of the following
sources:a) New markets
b) Export Marketing Department
c) Domestic Marketing Department
d) Competitor Analysis
e) Existing Customers
f) Service Department
The information collected from above sources is used for the up gradation of existing
technologies or development of altogether new technologies. For this purpose the
product development department has a close interaction with the design department.
The feasibility for developing a product is measured on various parameters. Some
important parameters being volumes that can be sold, return on investment (ROI)
and the complexity of the product. After checking the feasibility of the change the
Design department issues an ECN (Engineering Change Note) if the change is
minor and the changed part can be interchanged with the old one and if the
development is entirely new then EDN (Engineering Development Note) is issued.
After the issuance of ECN/ERN the initial samples are prepared. The vendor
development department procures raw material for initial samples. The quality of the
raw material is checked under Vendor Quality Control.
A prototype of the product is then developed. The prototype undergoes rigorous
testing. Then 5 samples are prepared which are also tested, if these samples pass then
next lot of 25 samples is prepared and similarly these are tested and if these samples
pass the R & D department issues an ERN (Engg. Release Note). If the model is
entirely new then it goes for testing at Central Farm Machinery Training and Testing
Institute, Budhni from where it must get ICA (Initial Commercial Approval) before
it goes for full-scale production. If the product passes in all the above stages then the
product management department creates a new independent BOM code for that
particular model. The BOM code consists of minutest of the details of that particular
model. After this the SOP date is issued and the product is put on the assembly line
and is manufactured and assembled as per the market demand.

DEPARTMENT DETAILS
Product Development
Product development is a bridge between marketing and R & D. This department looks
after new product development, old product enhancement and taking appropriate action
94

against the feedback obtained. Whenever some kind of problem is to be solved then
ORC (Open Resolved and Closed) sheet is prepared in which the issue is approached
i.e. it is opened and the sequence of steps are followed to come to a short term and long
term solution, at this point when the solution for the problem is found the issue is said to
be resolved and when the solution is implemented at that point the issue is said to be
closed.
The main source of information for the PD department is:1) Export Market
2) Domestic Market
3) New Market survey
4) Existing Customer survey
5) Feedback from Service Department
6) Competitor analysis

1) Export Department
Export marketers after visiting different countries inform the PD department about the
new developments going on in other countries. Marketers generally provide PD
department with either snaps or video or pamphlets of the technology being used in that
particular country from which the idea is further verified by the PD department in
consultation with Designing Department for its feasibility.
2) Domestic Marketing
The domestic marketing department provides feedback to the product development in
terms of the buying patterns of the customers, they may also give feedback on brand
awareness of the customer and consumer buying behavior.
3) Customer survey
In this case, we study the customer satisfaction level in a particular area. We make a
report of the response given by customer called customer satisfaction index (CSI).

4) New market survey


In the case of export marketing, export marketers study various countries having
different soil conditions and altogether different norms for emission etc. For these
markets new ideas are designed according to the market survey (HP requirement,
implement required, feasibility study, technical analysis, quantity required etc.). The
climatic conditions of different countries are also a concern.

5) Competitor analysis
The competitor analysis aim at studying the product range of competitors and comparing
it with our product line in similar range. The newly developed features of competitors are
then imbibed into our products. The positioning and promotion strategies of competitors
are also analyzed. For complete competitor analysis the PD department refers to Budhni
reports. Four reports were analyzed by us (refer to Annexure).
95

6) Service Department
When the service engineers visit the customers and the dealers for servicing of the
tractors, they get the opportunity of coming in direct contact with the customers from
where they get to know about the needs and wants of the customers and also about some
new ideas which can be implemented in our tractors. Further the service engineers give
the feedback to the product development department, which test for the feasibility and
marketability of the product under consideration. The service engineers also encounter
certain technical problems frequently. It could be a design fault or any other technical
fault, which is then rectified by the R & D department.
Design Department
This department looks after all the design related aspects of the tractors and it works in
close coordination with the Product Development department. The software used for
making designs is IDEAS. The designing department gets input from the Product
Development department and the design related feasibility is being checked by the
Designing Department. At present Projects like RX, the designing department is handling
World Trac and higher HP range tractors. Reverse engineering is an important concept,
which is implemented in the design department. Reverse engineering is the process of
backtracking the product from its final stage to its initial stage. Benchmarking is
generally done from the existing leader technology in the market.
Vendor Development
After the production department and the design department reports the product to be
feasible, the vendor development department procures the raw material from the vendor.
The raw material is not ordered in bulk but only for manufacturing few samples, the
vendor is generally reimbursed with the tooling cost and other costs incurred to
manufacture the new kind of raw material. The vendor development cell also interacts
with the vendors to check the commercial feasibility of a particular raw material. The
initial samples procured could be 5, 25 or 100.
Vendor Quality Control
The vendor quality control department checks for the quality of the raw material and at
times the process by which the material is manufactured, if this department passes the
raw material then only the material is put to use for making the prototype.
Mock Up

96

After the new model passes the feasibility test conducted by Product development
department and designing department, an initial physical model is prepared. To prepare a
mock up a sample of the raw material may be procured from vendor department or a
mock up can also be prepared with any other material easily available.
Prototype
Once the product is made in the mock up section further samples are made in the
prototype. In this the exact material, which is to be used in a tractor, is procured from
vendor development to prepare a prototype. When the prototype is prepared then the
inspection is done from various departments on following parameters:1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)

To check if the new proto can be easily serviced


To check if it can be easily assembled on main line
To check if it can be easily dis assembled when required
To check for easy serviceability of the product
To check for aesthetic appeal
To check for any leakage
To check for overall quality of the prototype

Photographs of the prototype are taken for further references. The prototype may also be
prepared on the main line if required. Also after an initial prototype the first 100 samples
will be prepared on the main line.
Testing
The testing department plays a very important role in R & D as it undertakes the
responsibility of the first practical test of the new tractor model. The testing department
tests all the minor and major testing parameters of the tractor so that the model could be
rectified and sent to the assembly line as soon as possible.
Product Management
Once the testing department passes the entire model, the product management department
issues an independent BOM code for the tractor model prepared. It stands for Bill of
Material. The BOM code consists of a lit of all the parts to be used in the tractor. This
BOM code represents the particular tractor model and once the BOM code is freeze, the
assembly line assembles the product as per the specifications of the BOM code.

97

OTHER TERMINOLOGIES USED


ECN It stands for Engineering Change Note. It is issued during the mock up and
protoshop stage when the design and the product development department ask for a
technical change and the change is minor wherein the new product can be interchanged
with the new product.
ERN It stands for Engineering Release Note. After the testing when the newly
developed product is said OK then an engineering release note is released. After this a
new BOM is prepared.
EDN it stands for Engineering Development note. It is issued during the mock up and
protoshop stage when the design and the product development department ask for a
technical change and the change is entirely new and the new product cannot be
interchanged with the old model.
ICA It stands for Initial Commercial Approval. After the Samples for the newly develop
product are created. A sample is sent to Budhni (Central Farm Machinery Training and
Testing Institute) for further testing. After the product passes through the various test, it is
said to be fit for commercial sale.
CAT I , II Category I and Category II are the internationally accepted design standards
of lengths and diameter. In ITL both the standards are used. In USA category II is used.
PRR It stands for Protoshop Requirement Report. The requirement of the protoshop
department to prepare a protoype is given to the vendor department.
Tractor Audit the Product development department conducts a surprise audit. The PD
department can randomly pick up any tractor, which has passed the PDI and is standing at
the Dispatch. A thorough check up regarding quality, leakage, breakage, scratches, and
fitment is conducted. A report is prepared for the same. The tractor may also be stopped
at the dispatch if the required standards are not met.
