Toolbox Test #20

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that the torque converter clutch is not disengaging and stalling the engine.
B: Farmer B states that though it can be a few different things, given that the engine starts back up and runs fine, he believes that the electronic throttle control motor is slow to respond.
C: Farmer C tells you that there must be a throttle stop screw, but you may have to remove the throttle body to gain access.
D: Farmer D believes that the EGR valve is hanging up.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A tells you there is no need for an hour meter. The company just added it to justify the cost of the new truck with bells and whistles.
B: Farmer B has an idea that it has to do with the emissions system and possibly the regeneration of the DPF.
C: Farmer C thinks it is for warranty. It must now be either months, miles, or hours.
D: Farmer D chimes in that it is for Big Brother to see how fast you are going.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that it has to do with the piston speed.
B: Farmer B agrees with Farmer A but says that it is also linked to the flame speed.
C: Farmer C states it has to do with the engine pinging.
D: Farmer D says timing is necessary for the engine to accelerate.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that a winding in the armature probably went bad.
B: Farmer B tells you to rap hard on the door panel; the motor may be stuck.
C: Farmer C thinks that it may have a bad ground.
D: Farmer D believes that the most probable cause is the switch.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says it does. Horsepower is horsepower.
B: Famer B thinks it might be a little different but is close.
C: Farmer C says that electric motor horsepower and hydraulic horsepower are the same.
D: Farmer D says that 746 watts are equal to one electric horsepower.

About Ray

My name is Ray Bohacz, and I know that success on the farm is a three-legged stool: agronomy, business, and machinery. I have always believed and life has taught me, that great judgement in the first two areas can quickly be evaporated by poor decisions in the farm shop in regard to maintenance and repair.
