SPQ2014

Had a little re-wiring project on Saturday... 8 hours to re-wire the rear of the trailer and fix a broken wire in the front wall of the trailer. New everything from the cord back. Used Tectran shielded wire for everything and marine grade sealed splices. Sorry for the poor quality pictures.



I've been learning how the parts department works lately. Stocking shelves, labeling parts, did MSDS sheets for a few days. I filled in for the service writer on Friday also. That was interesting... I've decided that I'm not the best at understanding accents.

More ThermoKing APU work...


They're using an Ingersoll branded Yanmar engine which has a tendency to smoke when not serviced regularly as I found out when I ran one with the shop doors closed.


Went and helped my dad out for a bit and fought with the GPS. The line would drift a few inches in the time it took to get out and check the gearbox temps on the rototiller. Decided that the treeline was messing with the GPS signal.


Doing a fan test on a MaxxForce. Pulse width control is great when it works! I've learned that dust does not agree with these Horton fan clutches.

  1. Nice set of photos; good reflection.

    I hope the finger thing goes OK for you. I'm still a little disappointed you didn't let me take it out for you.
