ENGINE TESTING DEPARTMENT
This department lies adjacent to the engine assembly
section from where the assembled engines are send on
roller conveyor to this department for testing under loaded
conditions.
There are a number of testing beds in this section for
carrying out the test. Each of the test beds has individual
control rooms for monitoring engine performance.
The test beds are made sound proof from inside to reduce
noise pollution. Also there is provision for discharge of
emission of the engine into the atmosphere so to prevent
pollution inside the section.
Each of the test beds are interconnected and are facilitated
by electric overhead cranes for mounting and unmounting
the engines onto the test bench as and when required.
The engines tested and passed from this section are taken
directly to the Tractor Assembly Section for final assembly
to the Chassis.

As the name suggests this is the final place of assembly of
complete tractor. The tested engine from the engine assembly,
differential, gear box, front wheel assembly, steering
mechanism, clutch assembly, brakes etc. are completely
assembled here to form a complete chassis of the tractor
followed by painting and final fitment of the external metallic
body, other accessories and wheels to complete the assembly.
The assembly of chassis is carried out while it being suspended
from a continuous overhead conveyor system.

The differential as well as the complete gear box is
assembled here and later on sent to the final assembly line of
the tractor assembly. The complete chassis is formed here,
followed by passing it through the painting and drying sections
lying in between the assembly line.
