OUR BEGININGS
TJS TRACTOR SERVICE HISTORY
TJs Tractor was originally created in 2008 as a way for people with all brands of equipment to have one place to come for help and repairs. I (TJ) was working for a local John Deere dealer at the time. I went to John Deere University to earn my John Deere Master Technician Certification and graduated in 2005. In 2015 I left mainstream work and made TJs Tractor Service a full-time business to provide quality work for common sense prices. Today TJs Tractor Service has become a staple locally and in the Pacific Northwest.

Tracy (T.J) Lockhart, Owner
I started my career in 1995, working for a small John Deere dealer in Clackamas, Ore. We were the only Pacific NW Golf and Turf distributor for John Deere. I started as a driver, delivering and picking up tractors, mowers and golf course equipment. After a couple years my boss found out that I had mechanical skills and asked if I wanted to become a technician. I started by building riding mowers and tractors from the crate. Soon after I was working on customers equipment. I went to numerous tech schools while working there and eventually left for another company to run their tractor shop for them. There is where I went to John Deere University and earned my Master Technician Certification. Throughout my career I have worked on many different machines and different brands of eguipment. I used all the experience I learned plus my schooling to create TJs Tractor Service to help people save money on what are normally costly repairs.
Mechanic\ Helper
I would like to welcome my son Jacob. Since finding reliable help is difficult and keeping them is even more difficult, my son Jake decided to step in and help dad. In all honesty I really never knew he payed to close attention to my business, I am excited to work with my son and love to see him showing interest in the business I have spent so long building. Jake tackles projects and doesn't look back.I am very proud of him. He's not a picture person so I substituted one instead.

FAQs
FAQs
This section we will try and answer the most frequently asked questions.
Q. Do you do onsite repairs?
A. No we do not have the employees.
Q. Why do I need to change my mowers engine oil every season?
A. Riding mowers and walkbehind mowers should have the oil changed at least once per year because these engines are mostly air cooled and rely on the oil for keeping the engine cool. When the oil is left for a long time without being changed it starts breaking down causing the engine to run hot.
Q. When should I change the spark plugs in my mower?
A. You should change your spark plugs at least once a year, preferably before the season starts. Spark plugs like every wear item have a shelf liFe per say and after being ran for a long time the engine will start burning more fuel because the plug will wear out. By changing your spark plugs once a year your mower will burn fuel more efficiently thus cutting better
Q. When should I replace my air filter?
A. Air filters in equipment should be changed or cleaned at least once a year. The air filters bring in and filter the air your machine uses to mix with the fuel and create power. Should the filter get wet or dirty it than restricts the air getting into the motor causing it to use way more fuel than normal.
Q. Is tire pressure important?
A. Yes especially if you want an evenly cut lawn. Most riding mowers rely on the correct air pressure in the tires to maintain a level cut. This plus keeping your mower deck leveled gives you a nice evenly cut lawn that looks beautiful for all to enjoy.
