Essential Tips for Efficient Farm Equipment Repair and Maintenance

Sumter is an agricultural community, which means farm equipment has to stay running. From tractors to silos, handrails to excavator buckets, Machine Tools and Welding Services has provided expert agriculture equipment service in Sumter for more than 25 years. If it can be welded or fabricated to fix your farm equipment, we can do it. Here are some general tips for farm equipment repair and maintenance.   

Battery Care

A dead battery is one of the biggest headaches during the cold season. When storing tractors for the winter, be sure to keep your batteries fully charged. Remove the battery and keep it charged in storage. Clean your terminals and coat them with petroleum jelly. Store all batteries in a warm, dry location, and never store them in your home or in near open flames.

Carburetor care

Carburetors are necessary for there to be combustion so gasoline can run properly throughout the engine. This can only happen if the carburetor does its job right. Learn how to get the most out of your carburetor. From setting the load valve correctly to managing the initial valve settings, these steps will ensure your carburetor runs smoothly.

Winterizing farm equipment properly

Winterizing equipment can save you time during the busy seasons and can reduce the expense of repairs. Preventative maintenance can save you lots of money and backbreaking work. Running winter fuel, checking fluids, cleaning equipment, and making repairs are just a few things you can do in the winter to prepare for the upcoming season.
