Heavy Equipment Power Trains and Systems
covers the latest power train technology on the market, including
later-model continuously variable transmissions. It provides extensive,
balanced coverage of agricultural equipment and off-highway equipment
from all sectors of the heavy equipment industry, including
construction, mining, and forestry, and includes detailed technical
information about equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. Heavily
illustrated and featuring many detailed cut-away mechanical drawings
developed by author Tim Dell, this text allows students to become
familiar with equipment that may not be available in their labs. Case
Studies throughout the text describe how the theory and procedures
detailed in the chapter are applied to real-world diagnosis and service
of specific types of heavy equipment. The Lab Workbook includes more
than 45 jobs that address key activities in the Power Train and Safety
sections of the ASE Heavy Equipment Technology standards
