System Notes — IMPLEMENTS
The implements group covers the working attachment and its linkage: bucket or blade, cutting edges, teeth and adapters, pins and bushings, linkage arms, tilt cylinders and the wear plates that protect them. This is the group that actually does the work, so it wears fastest. Cutting edges round off, teeth break at the adapter, and pins and bushings develop play that spreads shock loads back into the linkage. Parts here are replaced on measured wear — pin and bushing clearance, edge thickness, tooth height — rather than on hours, because a worn edge costs fuel and cycle time long before it fails outright.
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.
