Week 9
This week we had our final. We needed to do a track test and other testing to find the differences and to get familiar with the machine and get a feel for it. We also checked temperature and flow in our testing. Turned in someone elses paper i guess because mine is still in my bag. Keith and i got testing done and Hans and I did the x-drive work. Will turn in sheet monday. Sorry
This week we had to choose a part and describe what the parts are and what is the purpose. We had the swivel joint for the bobcat and is fairly simple. Thanks to the "bobcat advantage" haha. I also changed my transmission fluid, filter and gasket in my 2006 dodge cummins. It went fairly fast but now that I know how to do it I think it can be done in an hour instead of the hour and half. I learned what a transmission filter does. The biggest thing i learned was the magnet at the bottom of the pan and how much stuff it collects.
Hours 230
Week 7
This week i worked with a concrete cutter guy that was working on our job site. He showed all the things that he has that runs on hydrolics. He had chainsaws, drills, machine that has 12"18"24"36"48" blades and run with hydrolics. It really opened my eyes that it doesnt have be something big that can be ran on hydrolics.
Week 5
This week we went to B and G and learned trades of working on engines and parts. We learned how their business runs and how to get people determined to work.
It really showed me what it takes to keep a business afloat. I learned about how they can machine parts and make them better than the factory.
For work we installed 34 lights in the house im working on.
