{ "item_title" : "Tractor & Compact Utility Equipment Owner's Maintenance Guide", "item_author" : [" Talor Press "], "item_description" : "Compact tractors were engineered to be owner-maintained. This guide shows you how. The service points sit where a shed mechanic can reach them, the intervals ride an hour meter anyone can read, and these machines repay attention with decades of cheap, reliable work. What most owners lack is not skill but a system: what to check daily, what the hour meter is really telling you, and where the honest line sits between your wrench and a technician's. Twelve chapters deliver the whole picture. Know your machine and build its file. The safety rules that outrank every schedule. Diesel engine care for long life, cooling and electrical systems, hydraulics and loader craft, the grease map and driveline rhythm, tires and ballast, mowing decks and cutting implements, and the UTV and ATV light fleet that everyone rides and nobody maintains. Then troubleshooting by symptom with a clear stop line, storage and seasonal discipline, and the money chapter with its used-buying checklist. WHAT'S INSIDE Twelve chapters from the data plate to the long gameSix labeled figures: the five absolute safety rules, the diesel's care essentials, the ten-second coupler ritual, the grease map rhythms, reading the lawn as a gauge, and the autumn hour that pays in AprilFourteen numbered quick-reference tables throughoutAppendix A: the seasonal checklist, formatted to copyAppendix B: emergency cards for the moments that matterAppendix C: glossary of tractor and implement termsAppendix D: the owner's questions, answeredAppendix E: master reference tablesAppendix F: cost, capacity, and service worksheetsAppendix G: attachments, safety, and seasonal referenceAppendix H: field references: the no-start ladder, exhaust smoke diagnosis, hydraulic symptom maps, ballast decisions, grease intervals, battery health, used-purchase hour meter reading, and the stop linesEquipment maintenance log for recording every service by hour meter WHO IT IS FOR Owners of compact and sub-compact tractors, UTVs, ATVs, and the implements behind them: acreage owners, hobby farmers, large-lot homeowners, and anyone who inherited a machine with no manual. No mechanical training assumed. Models and manuals differ, so this book teaches the universal method and insists your machine's own manual supplies the exact numbers, fluids, and procedures. Do three things this week: photograph every data plate and download the manuals, walk the grease map once with paint on the stubborn zerks, and run the sixty-second walkaround before your next start. Those three habits carry half this book, and they cost one quiet afternoon.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/172/9798191729510_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "9.99", "online_price" : "9.99", "our_price" : "9.99", "club_price" : "9.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
