Abstract
Mechanization of agriculture equipment is an essential input in modern agriculture to enhances productivity with minimum human energy consumption and cost of cultivation. Increased production will require more use of agricultural inputs and protection of crops from various stresses. Tractors have traditionally been used on farms to mechanize several agricultural tasks. Modern tractors are used for ploughing, tilling and planting fields in addition to routine lawn care, landscape maintenance, moving or spreading fertilizer and clearing bushes. The vary touch unit (VTU) of tractor part which contains hydraulic oil due to which it holds the heavy weight of blades used to plough operation. The paper details the mechanization of fitting the oil seal in the VTU part. The fitting of oil seal in the tractor assembly was done manually due to which time consumption for fitting is more and most of the time the seal is damaged during fitting. Manual operation of fitting the oil seal in the plunger hole is overcome by designing the pneumatic gun to fit the oil seal with the help of adapter to increase the productivity and avoid the frequent damage of the oil seal.
