PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF

FARM TOOLS

processes and procedures to prolong the usefulness of farm tools and equipments

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

• WASHING/CLEANING

• SHARPENING

• LUBRICATING

• REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED/BROKEN PARTS

WASHING

Washing is the easiest form of preventive maintenance

1. Use garden hose to remove accumulated mud on your tools

in some cases, soil started to harden cannot be removed by garden hose alone

HOW TO REMOVE STURDY MUD ON YOUR TOOL?

you can brush/wire brush/steel wool to remove hardened soi

A wire brush is attached to a grinder. This is used to remove rusts and hardened soil on the surface of farm tools

You can also use steel brush to remove hardened soil/mud

2. Wash with detergent for positive result

mud and sturdy soil can be effectively remove using detergent/soap.

3. Wipe with a dry cloth/rag

4. Store in a clean dry place.

hand tools can be stored in a sand bucket to prevent from rusting

SHARPENING

SHARPENING is actually removing material from a knife blade's edge. This is usually accomplished by grinding the edge of a bolo against a sharpening stone or apparatus. SHARPENING makes your blade sharper.

SHARPENING

• Prepare the tool to be sharpened

• Get a good grip on the tool. You can use clamp to fix the tool and wont move while you are sharpening it.

•  You can use file, coarse abrasive stone or handheld grinder.

• Try to maintain a 45 deg bevel angle (factory default)

• Keep filing until the edge is sharp and even across the entire blade of the spade

BEVEL ANGLE

File the spade edge at about a 45 degree angle for best results. You're aiming for an angle that's sharp enough to cut easily through soil, sod, and roots but not sharp enough to cut you.

LUBRICATING

Most of the equipment requires oil, especially those parts with bearings. Lubricating is the process of applying oil to moving parts of an equipment to reduce friction and avoid rust.

LUBRICATING YOUR PRUNING SHEARS

(Step-by-Step Procedure)

1. Prepare the tool that you are going to lubricate

(in this case, we are going to lubricate your pruning shears)

2. Apply a few drops of lubricating oil to the pivot joints and blades

3. Wipe off the excess with towel or rag
