Toolbox Test #21

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that you need the engine to be at operating temperature first before you turn on the heater but put the fan speed on high.
B: Farmer B believes the same as Farmer A but chimes in that the fan speed needs to be on low. If it is too high, it will cool the engine back down.
C: Farmer C tells the others that you need to run the hottest thermostat possible for quick heat.
D: Farmer D instructs the others to put the heater on the maximum temperature setting with the fan on the lowest speed as soon as you start the engine.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says the de-compression valve is most likely carboned-up and is leaking.
B: Farmer B believes that the piston rings are worn.
C: Farmer C is adamant about it being the gasoline.
D: Farmer D feels it is the magneto.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that most likely the fuel shut off mechanism in the injection pump stuck when it got hot and that is why the engine would not restart.
B: Farmer B told you that the battery must be weak even though you said the engine cranked over properly.
C: Farmer C says that with it so hot outside the engine oil must have overheated and the piston rings lost their seal until it cooled down.
D: Farmer D tells you to get a cellphone and keep your wife happy.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that you must have read the brochure incorrectly. The engine would run too rich that way.
B: Farmer B tells you it is to keep the intake valves clean.
C: Farmer C is sure that these new engines make so much power that each cylinder needs two injectors.
D: Farmer D thinks he read that it is for reliability. If one set fails, the engine will still run.

Multiple Choice

A: Farmer A says that he is not surprised. These old cars did not have much insulation and your wife is used to newer vehicles.
B: Farmer B says, “lets take a look”. You both look under the Camaro and that is where the catalytic converter is. He tells you that is what she was feeling.
C: Farmer C agrees with Farmer B but tells you that is not normal. The floor should not get hot. The carburetor mixture is too rich.
D: Farmer D says not to worry about it and just buy her a pair of work boots!

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.
