Lethal Strike Video

I have been given quick safety lectures on hydraulic system safety but this video was really good at showing just how dangerous they can be. My coworker told me about a time that he was working with another guy on a 5000 psi and the other guy had this happen to him. So he is now very careful around hydraulic systems and is always pestering me to be watchful as well. I do a lot of work on hydraulic systems so it was good to have a refresher.

Why you should not use butt splices...

This machine is a 06 but I'm not sure when this "repair" was done but it can't be to old. All these wires has to be replaced.

Week Four

Last week I spent more time doing the winter services on more harvesters. One thing that has been really good the last few weeks is I have had a bunch of electrical problems and it has been really good to take what I have learned in school and cement it in on real problems.

Hours - Week Three

I posted this one from my phone last week but it just saved it as a draft...stupid phone lol

Well this week was about the same as last week, worked primarily on two 7420s. Last Friday me and another mechanic went up to Canada and did the inventory on it parts shack up there. That ended up taking all day...but it was a nice little brake.
