Describe how the ignition system of a tractor petrol engine works

Answer

  •  In this system the battery or generator supplies sparks which are required for ignition to take place
  •  The ignition coil changes the low voltage from the battery to a high voltage current required in the spark
  • plug in petrol engine.
  •  The condenser absorbs self-induced current in the primary circuit hence preventing the contact breaker
  • points from excessive pitting
  •  It stores electric for a short time.
  •  The condenser passes on the electric current to the distributor which distributes the high voltage current
  • to the spark plug&
  •  This causes the spark to occur at each cylinder in the required firing order.
  •  The contact breakers’ function is to interrupt the normal flow of current in the primary circuit.
  •  An electric spark from the plug then ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, then the tractor engine

how the following tractor components are used to attach implements to the tractor

  • (i) Three (3) point linkage/hitch. 
  • (ii) Power Take Off shaft (P.T.O) 

Answer

  •  (i)
  •  Is used to attach the trailed or mounted implements on a tractor.
  •  Lower links are hitched to the lower links of the implement
  •  The adjustable top link is attached to the top link of the implement.
  •  The top link lifts the implement through the hydraulic power system when in operation or during transportation.
  •  The lower links hold the implement in place to provide stability
  •  The check prevent the implement from getting into the tractor tires when the tractor is moving.
  • (ii)
  •  PTO is used to transmit power to operate various mounted and stationary implements the short splined shaft/the tub shaft of the PTO at the rear of the tractor transmits power from the tractor to the implement.
  •  The extension shaft has a universal joints at both ends which are used of adjusting the distance between the tractor and the implement.
  •  tie short splined shaft at the rear of the tractor is also used for attaching/coupling to the implement.
