[001] The present disclosure relates generally to a field of a lubrication device for lubricating components of agricultural machinery. More specifically, it pertains to a simple and effective the lubrication device for improving wear and tear resistance in various components of an agricultural machinery, and prevents failure of various components during the agricultural machinery operations.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] The lubrication system in an agricultural machinery such as tractors is used to distribute lubricant to components of an agricultural machinery to reduce friction between surfaces which rub against each other. The lubrication system delivers controlled amount of lubricant to multiple components during working operation of agricultural machinery. The lubricant is used to reduce friction between moving parts of components, power required by moving parts to overcome the friction, wear and tear of engine components, and heat generated due to friction between moving parts. The lubricant also acts as a seal between piston rings and cylinder walls of engine, and clean components of agricultural machinery by removing dust or any other foreign material present on surface of components.
[004] Various type of lubrication system are splash lubrication system, wet sump lubrication system, mist lubrication system, dry sump lubrication system, and force feed lubrication system. Generally, splash lubrication system is used in agricultural machinery for lubricating various components involved in the agricultural machinery.
[005] In splash lubrication system, mechanical turbulence is generated in the crankcase by the components which further makes the lubricant spread in the form of mist in the crankcase. A lubricant is transferred from the oil sump or a pan by a dipper provided at bottom of connecting rod for piston in each cylinder. The connecting rod transfers lubricant from bottom to top surface of engine components, and simultaneously lubricating various components of agricultural machinery like bearings, gears, camshaft connecting rod, valves, and the likes.
[006] In agricultural machinery during critical operations such as sand mining, brick kiln, bund cutting operations, etc, the splash lubrication system of the agricultural machinery do not provide sufficient lubrication to various components of agricultural machinery such as differential planetary gear, and tail pinion bearing. The splash lubrication system do not provide continuous and sufficient supply of lubricant to the components during severe working conditions and critical operations.
[007] Due to scarcity of lubrication by splash lubrication system, more heat is generated due to friction in the components, such as differential planetary gear, and tail pinion bearing which can lead to failure of components, thereby halting operations of agricultural machinery.
[008] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a simple and cost effective lubrication device which sufficiently lubricates various components of an agricultural machinery when performing critical machinery operations.
