TRACTOR SERVICE HACKS!! DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!! MASSEY, FORD, JOHN DEERE, KUBOTA

What happens here

Inspect the drive belts (alternator belt, fan belt) for proper tension, cracks, or wear. Ensure they are tight enough to operate correctly but not overtightened. Then, open the battery compartment and inspect the battery terminals for corrosion. The presenter's tractor shows significant corrosion on both positive and negative terminals. Also, check the fluid levels inside the battery cells (if it's not a maintenance-free battery) and top off with distilled water if needed.

Goal: Ensure proper function of drive belts and battery
