Accidents were examined which occured during the operation of the drive shafts. Problems and their solution possibilities in the production and operation of the drive shafts were also revealed.Designed systems for wearing and durability tests to the guards of the drive shafts were founded within the scope of Republic Of Turkey Ministry Of Agriculture And Rural Affairs, Directorate of Testing Center of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery by using the domestic resources and the The Europian Community resources.Wearing and deformation on the guards of the drive shafts were determined during wearing and deformation tests which produced from different materials. The results of the tests were revealed NBR as the best material for the long life operation of the drive shafts guards.trTarım makineleriGüç iletimiYerli yapımdoctoralThesis
