Farm trucks, otherwise known as a light truck, is a vehicle used to transport agricultural products from farmers in the farm fields. Originally, farm trucks are assembled by local truck workshops using used parts of cars scrapped from abroad. It causes a serious problem in terms of quality and safety, since conventional truck garages are lack of correct engineering principles in the assembly and there has a potential risk of accidents that may occur during use. This study is focused on enhancement of life quality and safety of farm truck users from different regions in Thailand. One problem encountered in the operation is that a clutch case to cover the flywheel-clutch-module, consisting of the engine flywheel and the clutch, is mostly fabricated without applying engineering understanding. This leads to time-consuming trial and errors manufacturing process and overweight parts.
