Maintenance Log

[SJay]

The attached word document is a log I use to keep track of all my maintenance. Feel free to use and modify. I store it on my Google Drive so I have access to it from anywhere. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the Log format.

Now I have to motivate myself to keep it current.

Thanks! I have been too lazy or not enough time to make my own! I have been just writing everything down in a notebook, but now I will just print some of these out! Thanks again!

I use a spreadsheet file (Numbers) on my iphone as a use log. Date, Hours, fuel etc. nothing fancy.

I use something very similar to yours. I keep a them in sheet protectors in a binder in my shop. I put a copy of invoices of any major repairs in there too. This really takes a lot of the guesswork out of maintenance.

It also helps when trying to sell a piece of equipment. It really impresses the potential buyer to see good maintenance records.

Good record. I just keep little 3x5 spiral notebooks for the tractor and in each car/truck. Put all fuel additions and maintenance in a running form. Used to have separate areas of the notebook for maintenance and oil changes. Now, I just put everything right in time line with fuel purchases in the little notebooks. Had a bigger notebook when doing for the 1983 Benz that we kept for 25 years, but the little notebooks would have worked.

I later transfer the fuel gallons and hours/miles to an Excel worksheet for each vehicle. Any maintenance item that might affect fuel usage is noted there, or maybe change in grade of oil (which I did on the Benz and the Tacoma).

Very useful document! I just bought my first tractor, so this is exactly what i needed. I'm going to tweak a couple of things for my specific needs, print some out, and put them in a 3 ring binder I'm making for the tractor. Having all the tractor reference materials in one place on the shelf in the shop makes good sense to me! Thanks for sharing!

I have been keeping all of mine in a small coil notebook in a drawer in my garage, but I like the neatness of that form. Thanks for sharing. The bottom quick reference information is FANTASTIC!!

IMHO, the other piece of information that is just as important as "When did I last change (lube, check, etc..) the ______?" is:

"How often do I need to change (lube, etc...) the ________?"

(IMHO) One piece of information without the other.......
.... makes me flip through 75 pages of the owners manual!

Most tractor operator manuals that I have seen provide blank, lined pages for note and record keeping...likewise for other typical machinery that requires periodic maintenance...

I'm spoiled by owning a Kubota Grand L60 series machine which has an electronic maintenance schedule / log in the message center. It knows exactly which maintenance task at how many hours is due. It pops a message, you acknowledge when you do the service, and it resets until the hours come around to do it again. Very cool!

But I also keep an electronic copy similar to this log, very useful. Thanks for posting.
