This quarter I have learned more than I learned any other
quarter. I feel like I have created a wonderful foundation of leaning, but I assure
you that it is not the end. This past week has been really great for me because
I have been gearing up to go out on my own. I have been finding odd jobs and
gaining experience working on a variety of things… investigating options. I got
a job in Roy, WA working on a KH 61 Kubota excavator. So far I have discovered
several leaks only one that I could really get a picture of and figured out
which circuit is losing pressure but I have a strong feeling that it has
something to do with the damaged gears in the main pump (Kayaba kp4-7c-7c6c)
that we tore out of there. i also got a job in California. I am getting paid to
travel there and fix a 1987 school bus that has been sitting for a little over
a year. From the sounds of it is just stuck in the dirt but after sitting for
that long I have a feeling this thing might have some problems. This week I learned how stupid people really
are when it comes to breaks….. DON’T THEY REALIZE THAT IS YOU LIFE AND POSSIBLY
SOMEONE ELSES? I took a picture of what was left of their rotors, this was a
charity case.
