Page 10: Training Report

The monthly production rate of tractors is 3000 to 3800 tractors. The assembly shop

is designed such as to assemble 140 tractors per day. The tractors manufactured by the

company have secured a special place in the market because of their maximum pulling

power and minimum fuel consumption and have achieved a reputation for performance

and quality.

At present the company has a strong nationwide network of more than 528 dealers.

This distribution of dealer network has helped the company to provide sales and services

to its customers. The company is catering to the market throughout not only India but also

various other countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka and South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe.

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

10

Page 11: Training Report

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 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.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Engine can be called as heart of automobile. Engines are used for different

purposes. The engine used in INTERNATIONAL TRACTORS is of these types. The

engine fitted in 740 DI is made by SYMPSONS, which are imported. The engine in 740

11

Page 12: Training Report

& 760 models are assembled in the engine assembly shop. The engine in 50 & 60 H.P.

are of two types one is standard model and its design is taken from ZETOR of

Checkosolavia and other is fuel efficient model in which crank case and head design is

taken from AVL (Auto Vehicle Ltd.0 of Austria). Due to better performance of F.E.

model engines the production of standard engines is stopped now.

The engine shop of INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR LTD. is well

furnished with latest fitting and checking instruments. . The worker’s in this shop are of

high skill level and have lot of experience. The production of shop is about 50 engines

per day and can be increased if required. All the component of engines except crankcase

is brought from outsides. The shop is having latest engine testing shop and having latest

equipment. In testing shop engine is checked for efficiency, specific fuel consumption,

power, torque, leakage, rpm and other faults.

3.2 CONNECTING ROD &PISTON ASSEMBLY

In this assembly we have to take four identical connecting rods are taken

whose weight isn’t differing by 10 grams. For that every connecting rod is weight and

group of same weight connecting rod are kept separately. If there is difference in weights

(more than 10gms) then it may cause vibration and stress over gudgeon pin. The four

connecting rods are marked with identical marks. The piston is assembled to connecting

rod with piston pin and locked with the cir-clip. The problem that may occur is that piston

pin may not go easily. This problem can be removed by rubbing the pin by sand paper.

Three rings are used in piston. Two top rings are used to maintain the compression and

third is required for lubrication. The lubrication rings is having a groove in its center and

spring is inserted into it. The spring acts as reservoir of lubrication and continuously

applies oil to sleeves.

3.3 HEAD ASSEMBLY

Wash the cylinder head block with diesel and dry it with air. Put the

cylinder head on fixture and press injector holder bush into it with the help of hydraulic

press. Check the leaking of water jacket around injector bush with the help of pressurized

air. Valve lapping is done with the help of valve lapping compound called as silicon

carbide .The machine automatically prepare the seats. Pouring diesel into the seats checks

the valve seats. If there is leakage then again valve lapping is done with inlet and outlet

valve is position locate the valve inner spring and lock it. Similarly the outer spring is

loaded and locked it, after this cylinder pins are pressed and rocker arm support stud are

12

Page 13: Training Report

reserved. Oil seal is put in the counter proved in water hole. This prevents the water

leakage into head assembly.

3.4 MAIN ASSEMBLY

The crankcase from H.M.S. is first of all cleared with water .The washing

machine is rotary type which revolve the crankcase along with it and water nozzles from

all direction clear any rust and chips. The washed cylinder is then dried in the same

procedure in which instead of water nozzles, hot air is blown. The washed and dried

crankcase is than loaded on to the trolley. The trolley is special made on bearing which

can rotate the engine at any angle and engine can be fixed at any place.

The assembly of engine is done in stage that is described as below: -

3.4.1 STAGE: -1

are cleaned properly with air and then fitted to engine with seals in between.

3.4.4 STAGE: -4

1.CAM SHAFT FITTING: -The camshaft is inserted into the camshaft hole with be-

baring and bolt ends are locked by circlip. The crankshaft is forged from alloy steel or

cast from hardened cast iron and is case hardened. The one end of camshaft is provided

with gear, which is linked with idler gear Z-50. for exact-ct timing the camshaft gear

mark is matched with mark on ideal gear.

2.PUMP AND FLYWHEEL MOUNTING: -The flywheel is mounted the crankshaft and

bolts are tightened with 11-12 kgm force. The F.I. pump is connected to the F.I.P. gear

through the F.I.P. drive shaft. The F.I.P. drive shaft is special designed to advance the

timing of injection. The both ends of F.I.P. drive shaft is provided with spline on one side

a key is provide which is locked to timing gear and recess on other side is pushed into the

the F.I.pump slots. The angle between the key and recess is of 18 degree. Thus the fuel

injection is advanced by 18 degree

3.4.5 STAGE: -5

1.CYLINDER HEAD MOUNTING: -The cylinder head assembly is placed on the piston

and studs are passed through it. If the height of piston at T.D.C. from the surface is more

than 0.1mm than the gaskets of given thickness are used. If it is 0.1mm to 0.5mm than

3.6 ENGINE TESTING

Engine testing is done for checking the performance of newly assembled

engine to found out any assemble fault, their H.P., leakage and other faults. Engine

testing shop of the I.T.L. is equipped with latest digital control equipments. The engine

testing is done with help of turbine (water) or hydro dynamometer. The hydro

16

Page 17: Training Report

dynamometer are four in number so that four engine is tested at a time. The shop is

equipped with heavy-duty oil filter, which is used to clean the oil from dust or other large

particle. The shop has bush pump tester, which is used to test the pump if there are any

fault. The engine power is measured on the bases of S.A.E. ratings. The society of

automobile engineer’s U.S.A has specified the method of measuring the power output of

the engine for standardized purpose. The engine is run without generator, air cleaner,

cooling fan etc. However standard circulating pump, fuel pump is fitted to the engine.

The horsepower of the engine is measured with dynamometer and measured values are

then corrected for the standard pressure, ampere and humidity condition prescribed.

3.6.1 TESTING: -

Before starting the engine the, lubricating oil is filled into the engine and then engine is

mounted on the fixture. The flywheel is directly attached to turbine through connecting

shaft and engine is started. The engine is made to run for three hour’s to check the

engines leakage and if there is any leakage then that fault is found out and again put into

the testing and if again there is any fault then that engine is rejected. After minute running

the tappet clearance is checked. Tappet clearance is to be kept .25±.005. The clearance is

necessary otherwise the thermal expansion of valve will alter the opening or closing of

valve angles. After that engine is run at 2400 r p.m. m. for 2.30 hours and then the engine

is run at various r.p.m. and loads to calculate the power, b.h.p. and s.f.c. . If the engine is

seen to emitting too much smoke than smoke level is also checked.

3.6.2 POWER OUTPUT: -

The engine shop is having latest technology and all the information is available digitally.

The load can be increased or decreased r.p.m. or s.f.c. can be changed from within the

electronic cabin. Power test is done on 2200 r.p.m. (Maximum r.p.m. of engine is 2400)

where torque is rated and is indicated on digital meter. The alteration in r.p.m. is made by

varying the load and fuel supply is kept constant.

The power is calculated as follows

POWER = (R.P.M×TORQUE)/(7023.746) H.P.

If the power calculated from above formula comes lower than prescribed

limit than usually fuel timing is altered. The fuel timing is altered with the help of F.I.

pump. Usually the engine is tested on 18 º Celsius advancement .By revolving the pump

away from engine the timing is reduced and by revolving F.I.P. toward the engine the

17

Page 18: Training Report

time is advanced. The advancement usually lower down the power, so timing is reduced

into possible limit to increase the power.

3.6.3 S.F.C: -

It is one of the most important parameter for engine comparing. It is defined as the ratio

of amount of kg of fuel used per hour by the engine to power produced by the engine.

S.F.C. = (297000) / (POWER×TIME) Gm/B.H.P/Hr.

Constant = fuel gravity × volume of oil (100 cc) × time

= 0.825 × 100 × 3600

= 297000

3.6.4 TORQUE BACKUP TEST: -

It is capacity of engine for maximum load that after the engine r.p.m will decrease to

zero.

TORQUE (backup) = {T (max) – T (rated)} / {T (rated)}× 100

T (rated) is displayed by meter on 2200 ± 50 r.p.m. and T (max) is

displayed by meter at 1500 + 100 r.p.m. T (max) is found by loss of r.p.m and increased

of torque. The engine is loaded till torque is max and after which the loaded cause drop in

torque.
