PREFACE
This manual is primarily written for agricultural students attending Agricultural Colleges. The prin- cipal thing kept in mind in selecting, compiling and arranging the exercises was to stress only those things which are necessary to a thorough understand- ing of farm machinery, its selection, care and opera- tion.
Three types of exercises will be found: those that deal with the examination of the machine from an investigational standpoint; those that call for the taking apart and reassembling, and those that test machines.
The first named exercises are to get the student familiar with the different parts of the machine, the principal differences in the various makes of the same type of machine and the function of each part. For these exercises there are questions asked, the answer to which the student must determine and jot down aside of the question. Blank spaces are left for these notations, or, if no blank space is left, the part of the question not applying to the machine can be crossed out. So when the machine is finally com- pleted, there is a complete statement of the machine. Sufficient machines of the same kind should be gone over to fill out all the report sheets for that machine. After the report blanks for one kind of machine, such as walking plows or mowers, etc., are filled out, then the student should present himself to the instructor for a quiz on that machine. A grade will then be given.
In the case of assembling and testing exercises, the student does the exercise as per instructions in the manual and additional instructions from the in-
6 FARM MACHINERY LABORATORY
structor. All results should be carefully tabulated in manual,
Each student will need a manual and a pocket tape. As soon as getting the manual the student should write his name on it ink, thus insuring its return in case of loss. Not more than three students should work together if all are to get the maximum benefit of the course.
In using the machinery and apparatus in the lab- oratory, take care of it as well as you would if it were your own. Keep in mind that, while the machinery is loaned to us and the apparatus belongs to the State, yet there are many other students com- ing after you and they too wish to have good ma- chinery and apparatus to use.
Do not rush through your laboratory work or do not loaf. Work right along making each moment count for the most. Get all you can out of the labor- atory work. Do not run to the instructor with every little question, but try to rely upon yourself. Remem- ber that the laboratory work is built on the assump- tion that you have the class room work in good shape; if you fail there, you are lost here.
