This curriculum guide for a vocational agriculture course in farm equipment mechanics addresses the three domains of learning (psychomotor, cognitive, and affective) while providing job-relevant tasks and suggestions for specific classroom activities for each identified task. This guide provides performance objectives for the following 13 tasks: assembling equipment; performing administrative functions; servicing bearings and seals; servicing conveyance systems; servicing hydraulics; servicing carburetion and fuel systems; servicing cooling and lubrication systems; servicing electrical systems; servicing internal combustion engines; servicing tires; servicing mechanical components of balers; servicing mechanical components of planters. For each duty, the guide provides a number of performance objectives, related to task; standard performance of task; source of standard; conditions for performance of task; enabling objectives; resources; teaching activities; criterion-referenced measures; answers; practical application; method of evaluating practical application; and checklists. Appendixes provide a cross-reference table, explanation of symbols, definitions, equipment by percentage rating, sources of standards, a list of state-of-the art literature, and a 36-item bibliography.
