With the rapid progress and recent increase in the complexity of agricultural machinery, their faults have become complicated and their quick and right diagnosis needs the knowledge of high quality of their structures and functions. In this paper, prototype expert systems in troubleshooting grain combines were built as an application of artificial intelligence to tough agricultural tasks. Part 1 deals with the systems developed by using the expert shell “Sogen”. As a result, it was found that the knowledge of experts could be stored in the knowledge base of a computer by means of knowledge engineering technique. It was also confirmed that the building prototype expert systems was meaningful to evaluate a possibility of complete systems.
