How Hand Tractor Machine Works
- A hand tractor is an agricultural tool used to help farmers work by tilling land, weeding, and mixing fertilizers.
- Before starting a hand tractor engine, read user manual to learn how to do it and what equipment is needed. Ensure sufficient fuel and water so engine performance is optimal when turned on. Follow simple steps to start engine for efficient work.
- Attach socket to front crankshaft bolt. Attach long ratchet wrench. Rotate wrench to precisely rotate engine. Old vehicles with low compression ratios could be crank started, unlike modern engines.
- The crankshaft transforms piston linear motion into rotational motion.
- A hand crank winch is manually operated to hoist, haul, or pull heavy things. A crank is an arm rotated in circular motion. A winch adjusts rope/wire tension. Capacity depends on size and design. Lift 3/4th of max weight capacity.
- Do not use a crank on small engines. Can lose teeth. Some engines came with cranks for starting. Do not whip crank full circle. Can be dangerous.
