This week i worked on the farm doing field work. I got to work on the navigation system with the boss and learned how to use it its a good tool on these big John Deer tractors. I performed a cylinder balance test on the yellow International box truck using the laptop using Service Maxx Pro .

I also used the Cummins Insight program on the laptop to diagnose the Cummins ISX in the dyno room. I found the code 2636 was red active which is the VGT actuator driver circuit.I traced it back from the turbo and found the plug was not plugged in all the way.

I used the Modis from Snap-On to do a system activation including making the horn and wipers work. I used the same machine to get into the system on my Mercedes and figure out why its throwing the engine code. Figured out my car is throwing the air injection code and I am going to try and fix it. Also diagnosed the test 6.7ltr ford engine with the IDS (integrated diagnostic software) on the laptop. found the code p0090 and discovered the high pressure fuel regulator plug was unplugged. Also used the vacuum machine and evacuated the oil out of my engine and changed the oil and filter.

John Deer Work with hours

This week I spent many hours working on a John Deer tractor and the disc attachment used to disc the field. I assisted in taking off the wheel working on the hub assembly and repairing the radiator and had to fabricate some steel on a disc trailer that broke while i was working on field. Also I participated in the class tug o war that we won first place in and received a trophy a sprained ankle and a wicked bruise on my side..I learned how the radiator is a big part in these tractors in a dusty field and has to work good always or there can be major problems. I learned how to take a tractor tire off that is taller than me with a crane hoist. We also learned in class how injectors work and got to trouble shoot the new engine in class with a computer. Also I used a computer to diagnose the problems on my own car.All in all a good week Also a pic of the silag truck i drive and do the maintenance on. There's even a pic of the navigation system.
