Where is everyone #5

Not sure. Bout 36 in long. Looks bout 9 in round. Split tank. Wet tank chamber on back front truck supply on front.

 

Just like running a milling machine or lathe.... punch in the numbers and let it go. To me that's not exactly a machinist, not trying to be a hard a$& but..... true operators don't need electronics to do finished grade. Maybe I'm to Oldskool for today's way of doing things but that's just me. I guess it's just easier??

 

Well, made it to Denver, finally, LOL

could’ve been 200 miles but I did almost 300 because I’ve never been over vail or Loveland... so took the scenic route? Aka I70?

Hoped back to Craig and went south on the 13...

Made my MHC Kenworth parking spot



I was gonna get her washed at the TA...but she’ll live another day with her dirt...

Took a stroll down memory lane and BAM



Bummer. Bruh.

Off to clean up and get me some Famous Dave’s. Y’all be cool

 

I really have too agree, something goes wrong with the gps and your dead in the water

 

Was curious to see if it was in one of these books.... one I'm looking for is out in the shop though. Automann products but..... I bought a new tank for my trailer couple months ago, about $129 I think. Was going to see what it cost through my local parts house.

 

Welding a new tank is quite different than doing a repair on a pressure vessel that has been in service. There may be some welders that would do a repair, I wouldn't. I could see doing an emergency repair for a single trip but, tanks just take too much stress to try repairing.

I did use some devcon and a small patch on an air tank on my Unimog, it was a quick fix to move it, I replaced the tank ultimately.

I called around to a few part supply places. Able to get the tank just not the bungs in the right place unless special order and wait a few weeks. Work is starting back up and kw has it in stock shipped to the shop tomorrow.

 

Ran into one of my heroes a little awhile ago...


Motor in safe brother @wore out and doc

 

Looks like your being called out for having bears in your pocket.

 

I have ALL manual machines, doing prototype work they are OK,. If I need more than a few of anything I job it out. While doing work on manual machines is no less accurate, sometime more accurate, it is not productive in manufacturing. There are some exceptions for second opps and, odd jobs but, in 98% of part production a CNC is way ahead of the game.

I do a lot of repair work, that is where good quality old school machines earn their keep.
