The Big Hammer (new to 1.1.5) If you read the other advice below and don't get the help you need, you can enter this command into your SMAPI window: fixqt. That will:
Complain and do nothing if you don't have at least 5 open inventory slots. (Because it does stuff that adds to your inventory - it wants to make double-sure you've got the slots for it.)
If you haven't found the tractor yet, it will Start the main Tractor quest.
If you haven't found the starter item for either the loader or the scythe, it will add them to your inventory and start their quests.
It will add all the quest items for your active quest to your inventory. (So to avoid duplicates, get any quest items, including completed parts, out of chests and into your inventory before running this command).
It will clean your inventory of quest items that are for prior stages of the quests. (In case you screwed up on step 4 or thought a part was destroyed when, in fact, it was just lost.)
I can't find the tractor! Subtle clue: try talking to Abigail between Sunday and Wednesday

It is hidden behind a tree on the western edge of the farm. It's completely obscured by it, you have to walk up to the tree to make the tractor visible. If you're really stuck, try just cutting down all the trees on the west of the farm. If you look at your SMAPI log, it reports the coordinates there at the start of every day. Again, you have to walk right up on it to see it. To get the quest, you have to hit the tractor with your scythe or any tool.
I found the tractor, but I've got no quest! Hit the tractor with your scythe or any tool, that'll start the quest.
I can't find the tractor, busted-loader or busted-scythe After you get a pet, you'll occasionally see HUD messages when you enter the farm, "I wonder what Fido is up to". When that happens, find your pet and look around nearby. You might just find what you're looking for. (The busted parts are literally wedged inside big rocks/logs, but they are left-click extractable.)

The Scythe and Loader parts are under (literally under) the very southernmost log/rock. They can be spotted by hovering your mouse over the suspected log/rock - if it turns into a green-plus, that's your rock. You don't need to break the log/rock to get them, you can left-click on the corner where your mouse turns to a plus and it'll pop out for you. Breaking the rock/log makes it easier to pick up, but isn't necessary.
I'm supposed to return a part to the garage, but I can't build the garage and Robin won't sell it to me! You need to advance the main tractor quest for her to offer it. It's an easy situation to get into as the tractor attachments are easier to spot than the tractor itself, and the quest is started not by finding the tractor but by hitting it with a tool (like a scythe). Ask the villagers or see the "I can't find the tractor!" section above.
Where's the chest in the Secret Woods? I don't see one anywhere You bring your own chest to the party. You can place it down anywhere in the zone.
Alex's Shoes won't drop for me! Subtle clue: there are actually 3 ways to get the shoes in this game - you probably already guessed one of them, but 2 other characters are known to prowl the town at night...

Look beside the dwarf. (He found them and decided they were garbage because they didn't fit him.) If you have enough friendship with Linus, you can ask him to look out for them and he'll mail them to you after several days. And if it didn't already occur to you, checking the Mulner's garbage can nightly is the another way to get it.
How Do I Get The Waterer? Fishing on the farm is the way to start a quest - any body of water on the farm will do. The chances of hooking the quest item are quite remote until the tractor quest is complete. After that, it goes up with time passed in the game. Also the more you fish on one day, the better your chances are (it's just about a statistical certainty at 10 casts). At some point you will snag something and get a quest to see Willy. Willy will supply you with a special fishing pole, a "harpoon". You must take that back to the farm and with that (somebody perhaps the mod will make it so you have to go to the same spot you snagged it the first time, but for now, it doesn't really matter).
How do I get Seeding and Fertilizing?

Get George to 3 stars and wait for a mail. You'll also need to be friends with Evelyn and Alex too in order to complete the quest.
Hi, thanks a lot for creating this mod, it's really fun!
I got a question: At the point where the Wizard told me to put engines + sap + mixed seeds + aquamarine in the chest in secret woods, I couldn't find the chest anywhere. Did I miss it? Or should I craft my own chest and put it in the secret woods?
I'm just an old granny gamer with zero technical expertise. I seem to have made a mess. It involves using the scythe. In setting up QTM, I seem to have checked a box about using the scythe, assuming it meant that I CAN use the scythe to harvest any crop if I so choose, but it seems to be the case that it meant that I MUST use the scythe -- even when I am not on the tractor. Everything I go to harvest by hand tells me that it requires the scythe. There was something somewhere about how to fix that, but I don't remember where I saw that (not a reference to fixqt). Believe me, it is true that one's memory falters in old age! Now that I have a completed tractor, when I want to harvest crops, I choose the scythe in my inventory, but it doesn't work! I can't harvest crops with the tractor! Yes, the tractor is completed, including getting the repaired seed attachment from George. Do you have any suggestions? Also, should QTM be listed in the GMCM? I find the base TractorMod listed, but QTM does not appear in the GMCM for me. Thanks for any help.
did u find it? is it in the questable tractor folder? bcs I don't have a config file in that! or is it the same config file in the tractor mod folder? bcs if is that, I alrdy activated it and it is not working still or maybe I shld complete all the quests for tractor?! (BCS currently I'm in the first phase, Hoe attachment)
I think I bumped into some bug. I found Alex's shoes, but I can't give it to Clint. When I tried to talk to him instead, he just spoke his usual dialogue about community garden. then he moved, and the shoes fell to the ground. I can't pick them up. It's still stuck there the next day.

does it work for co-op? just loaded a game with my friend but she cant start the quest, even after using tools on it. It did tell her to find me (the host) when she first found it though...
I am playing on the Frontier Farm from SVE and the Busted Loader did not spawn is there another way to get the Loader part? Only the harvester spawned.

Also see my post below you in colors 🔽for solution
it's currently broken
I strongly recommend switching back to tractor v4.21 until questable tractor updates
