They are just keeping the driver there until they determine if he got hit in the head stupid or born stupid.

Hehehe, I like this. Good morning chuckle, thanks.

Don't know what I'm going to do about the boner now though.

Yep. I buy about 3-5 depending on sale price each time.

Brother, I have delt with many many of them. Deere, Cat, doosan/bobcat , libbehr, sennebogen. Case, jcb, genie, They all absofukingloutley suck. Particularly in north America it's fucking pathetic. They shown up in their shiny ass service trucks. Come out with their ego like get out the way I'm a professional you have no business touching this because you are some somenfuckinn shmoe. Then i have spend my entire fucking day babysitting the ignorant punk. To get a bulshit diagnosis that's completely wrong because the guy doesn't even know how to read the damn service information to get it right.

Budy, I kid you not. I had to teach one guy how to use his damn multimeter properly to check continuity on a wire.

If you have a piece of equipment that is internationally made. Like Europe or aisia. Call them instead of the local dealer. I've gotten better and faster results from a 10 min phone call than 8hr day with a local.

Hell I only ever call those dealer guys when it's something I simply can't do, like injector cut out tests or I just don't have time for it and I regret it the second I see the guy roll up.

Not long ago. I had a cat guy come, needed to verify hui pump on a 3126b. Yes it's the pump. I give him okay to swap for a new one. I had one in a spare parts machine with a rebuild motor. I pull out the spare by the time i finish the guy is still trying to get the lines off. Day later after he put it in, the damn thing is falling out oil everywhere. Fuck it's goddam - 20c and a snow storm and we need the machine next morning.

What the hell are filters for then? Rust proofing the frame and engine bay?

Lool deere guys are one of the worst. Each time they send me their kid with a laptop who shits the bed because he actually has to turn a wrench. Or the laptop won't tell him what ecm to replace before he replaces the entire wire harnesses the next day because it didn't fix it. Fuck they look at me like I'm a retard when I try to tell these guys about hydraulic injection. "They never told us about that".... last time I told them, if your going to send me your fucking apprentices m, I'm going to write you an invoice for my time wasted. Had one deere guy tell me. "They don't let us do any welding repairs, because if it can be fixed by welding then it's a part they can't sell."

It seems like the only job requirements for a deere guy is show up and be able fog a mirror.

I ended up getting rid of my garden this year, planted clover,grass and wildflowers. But along the fence line, I just planted potatoes. So it's potato surrounded by grass and clover.

My 96 year old neighbor always tells me," a weed is just flower growing somewhere you didn't want it. "

Him " I need a new miter saw. " wife "no you fuckin dont" him "we need a new bed frame" wife "good idea"

Those look like 2x6s that is more support than any old bed frame would give to a box spring.

 

It's been there for months now. It happend shortly after I painted the walls. I'm jot going to fix it because why. Kids will slam the door again anyways. Rather a hole in the wall than having to replace hinges or a door.

 

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
