Fitting battery leads to your tractor.
When fitting screw clamp type battery terminals to the leads it is important to get a good contact between the terminal and the lead. The problem is that when the clamp screws are tightened, the wires tend to spread out which results in a poor electrical connection and hence an […]
Faulty trailer lights are not only a nuisance to following traffic but are also downright dangerous. Often the fault lies in the plug/socket connection or the cable fittings to the plug/socket . Any plug/socket which is suspected to be faulty should be renewed. This job is not too difficult even for a beginner but identifing […]

The danger is that a spark can ignite the gas and explode the battery covering you, and anyone else in the vicinity, in highly corrosive sulphuric acid. Serious acid burns are a real possibility. When […]
