System Notes — ELECTRICAL AND STARTING SYSTEM
The electrical and starting system covers the battery, starter motor, alternator, wiring harness, relays, switches and the instrument panel. It carries current from the batteries to the starter to crank the engine, and from the alternator back to keep the batteries charged. Because these machines work in dust, vibration and wide temperature swings, connectors corrode, harness insulation chafes against the frame, and starter solenoids burn out from repeated short cranks. Parts in this group are usually replaced on a symptom basis — slow cranking, a dash warning, lights that dim under load, or a no-start condition traced to an open circuit.
System Notes — SERVICE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
This group covers the equipment and consumables used to service the machine rather than to run it: filter wrenches and service tools, drain and fill hardware, grease fittings and couplers, sight gauges, sampling valves, and the small hardware that makes routine maintenance possible without improvising. Items here are replaced when they no longer seal, no longer hold a setting, or when a stripped fitting turns a ten-minute service job into a two-hour one. Keeping the correct part number on hand matters more than the unit price, because a missing grease coupler usually means a missed lube point.
