MOSS & SONS · EQUIPMENT CARE

Take care of what
takes care of you.

Tractors, mowers, cars, and the things you depend on. Keep the service record, know what is due, and put the next check on your calendar.

1. Know the machine

Find the model number and matching manual · opens in a new tab so your record stays here.

Year, engine & serial details

Your entries are on this page only. Print them before signing in, because signing in reloads this page.

Model plate photo

Take a close, readable picture of the model or engine plate. Keep people, addresses, and unrelated documents out of the frame. One photo per record; a new upload replaces it.

Sign in and save this equipment before uploading a photo.

Automatic photo reading is not connected yet. You can save the picture and enter its model by hand.

2. Plan the next service

Prepare for an oil-and-filter service · opens in a new tab with the supplies, manual checks, and record to keep.

Use the schedule for your exact model and operating conditions. Enter hours or mileage, months, or both. The first limit reached takes priority.

An unknown service history needs a baseline. Ask the manual or a qualified mechanic what to check or service first; do not enter zero just to create a due date.

THE SERVICE CARD

What is coming due?

Add your machine and a service task above.

Current record: No meter reading. Add usual weekly use for a date forecast.

A record beats a guess.

CHECK THE NUMBER BEFORE THE CART

Find the right parts & fluids.

A matching model name is a starting point. Confirm the engine, year, serial range, and any replacement components in the current manufacturer catalog before buying.

Other makes: use the manufacturer’s owner support page or a dealer with the model and serial / VIN. For cars, follow the exact engine’s oil specification and any earlier oil-life monitor warning.

Start with the manufacturer’s number.

Reference lookup currently covers published sheets for John Deere 1023E, 1025R, and 1026R. For your other equipment, look up the part in the current manufacturer catalog and use its exact number below.

Enter the make above, the exact part number, and confirm your catalog check to open a search.

Amazon links open search results, not a verified compatible listing. Check the listing’s manufacturer number, variant, seller, and fit information before buying. We do not supply live prices or availability. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Signed-in equipment records and photos are stored privately. Uploads have embedded photo metadata removed. Entries are excluded from website analytics. Read how records and optional photo reading are handled.

A LITTLE CARE, DONE REGULARLY

Advice worth keeping in the shed.

01

Write it down while it is fresh.

Record the date, meter reading, exact fluid and part numbers, and receipt. A good record is worth more than a good guess six months from now.

02

Learn your particular machine.

Keep the operator’s manual with the record. An engine replacement, a different transmission, or a serial-number change can change the parts you need.

03

Listen before the small trouble grows.

A new leak, warning light, unusual sound, or overheating deserves attention before the next job. A calendar reminder never takes priority over a warning from the machine.

04

Hard work calls for the right schedule.

Check the manual’s instructions for dust, towing, short trips, storage, and first service. Do not stretch an interval because the machine still starts.

05

Leave a clean handoff.

Keep a photo of the model plate and a service card. When someone else uses, services, or buys the equipment, pass along what you know.

06

Know when to call the mechanic.

Use the manual’s shutdown and support procedures before inspection. Leave work beyond your equipment, training, or safe access to someone qualified.
