Fundamentals and Safety Class

We are nearing the end of the first class and we have been busy learning about fasteners, fire extinguishers, micrometers and torque wrenches. We have been driving new tractors and moving wheels. We also have successfully turned two combines into a large pile of parts.

 

This is the 7.6L engine from the 9600 combine. We needed to make sure it ran and had oil pressure for Tri-State. We used a harness for an 8.1L engine that we made during last years engine class just to make it run and all we got was uncontrolled RPM. Rodney is regulating the speed by limiting the air. A lot of fuel and limited air equals a lot of smoke.
