The threads are worn and the vibration of the engine causes the oil cap to loosen. Replace the oil cap or try a little Teflon tape on the male thread as a temporary fix.

What are common causes of tractor trailer accidents?

The common causes of tractor trailer accidents are drowsiness, speeding, and road rage (reckless driving). These are the common causes of all car accidents. However, when driving a tractor trailer, you should also consider the weight of the load you are carrying and how it is balanced on the trailer. Excess weight can cause tires to blow out, and can make stopping and starting difficult. If the load is improperly balanced, the trailer can tip over as well.

What causes engine to stall when let off clutch lt133?

I would start by checking to see if your operator presence switch is still working properly. Located under the seat, this switch is designed to shut the tractor down if the operator were to fall off the tractor suddenly. The clutch on your tractor would bypass that switch until the clutch was let out.
