GOAL

The goal of A & V Rebuilding’s, MA “FleetRenu” program is quite simple. We strive to provide our customers with a “like new” fleet of tractors for about half the cost of new equipment. We strongly believe in the “keep it simple” concept of remanufactured equipment.

The baggage tractor is more often than not, a very used and abused piece of equipment. Because of this fact, we try to keep the tractor as basic and non complex as possible. All of our tractors are built using tried and trued 300 CI (4.9l) inline 6 cylinder engines matted to Ford C-6 Transmissions (the combination which has been the work horse of the industry for many years). Our standard model comes equipped with a carbureted Gasoline or LPG powered engine with traditional style electronic ignition. Our electrical system is color coded and wired through a circuit breaker protected terminal strip. Our entire rebuild process is designed by mechanics with ease of maintenance and simple troubleshooting in mind.

We want to meet or exceed your expectations. We plan to do this by returning you a “FleetRenu” tractor that performs to your standards for as long as or longer than it did in its first life.

BENEFITS

The first benefit you will see from the “FleetRenu” program is the up front cost, which is about half the price of a comparable new tractor. After you benefit from your up front savings, your accounting department will like the program due to its tax advantages. Unlike a new purchase, which can be depreciated over time, the entire cost of putting your tractors through the “FleetRenu” program can be written off as repairs*.

Our program replaces all of the components of your tractors with rebuilt or new items of the same type. Because of this, your fleet retains a package of components that in our opinion is and has been the best option in the industry. Your tractors are returned to you in “like new” condition, built with parts that your mechanics are familiar with and your parts room is stocked with maintenance parts for.

RECAP

“FleetRenu” – “Like-New” condition, substantial up front cost savings, tax benefits*, built around original equipment format with like components. How can you go wrong?

*Consult your tax advisor regarding actual Tax Benefits and savings.

MA “FLEETRENU” WORKSCOPE

DISASSEMBLY

Upon arrival at our facility the tractor is thoroughly steam cleaned and assessed for level of completeness. After cleaning and assessment, the tractor is completely disassembled and inspected for damage to major components including frame, drive and steer axles, engine and transmission. After a thorough inspection, the tractor is sent to a local facility to be completely sand blasted to bare metal.

REFINISHING

Once the tractor returns to our facility it is given a complete coat of self etching epoxy primer to help prevent rusting. After priming all of the components, any and all straightening and body working processes are completed. Any frame straightening and or repairing is also completed at this time. After all repairs have been completed, the parts are spot primed prior to the final paint process. At this time all of the components are finished in your choice of color using a quality Acrylic Enamel or Urethane Enamel paint.

REASSEMBLY

After the refinishing process is complete, the tractor is delivered to our assembly shop. Here the tractor is hand assembled utilizing both new and remanufactured components (see attached sheet). During the assembly process, the tractor is hand wired through a terminal strip using no less than 14 gage color coded wire. All electrical circuits are protected by a self resetting circuit breaker. After the tractor is fully assembled and wired, a new set of tires and wheels are installed and the tractor undergoes our thorough testing and quality control process.

TESTING / QUALITY CONTROL

At this stage the tractor is test run and test driven for a minimum of two hours. All major components are checked and adjusted or tightened as needed. Any paint damage which may have occurred during the assembly process is repaired as necessary and non skid paint is applied to the step plates. Prior to delivery, all fluids are topped off, and the tractor is given a final visual inspection before loading for shipment to the customer.

NOTE: The above is our basic “FleetRenu” Work Scope and can be adjusted to fit the needs of a specific customer. These are your tractors and our goal is to bring your fleet to “Like New” condition per your specification. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions that you may have.
