  • I bet you didnt get this lucky today

    I repacked two 12 foot tall lift cylinders in our 30,000 lb Hyster. Maybe its time to retire and go back to repairing lawn equipment. Nothing on a weedeater or lawn tractor that needs 500 ft lb of torque either. It did get up to 35 or 36 degrees, so it wasnt too bad. YES, it was a nice day for Michigan at this time of year.

        You must be young. The seals in the hydraulic lift cylinders were leaking and while sitting still the load would drift down. I just post random and crazy stuff because its .......the off topic forum. What I’m really saying is I’m retiring soon and I damned glad I wont be doing that again. :beer:

          (Didnt put them back on wrong)

          Thats because you're a real mechanic. TAG the hoses?....thats because you have common sense. We have idiots at work that remove two hoses and mix them up and return the truck to the driver. He has to get used to that function being backwards. Why dont they just take it back and make the mechanic fix it?.....................Because they dont want to wait forever, AGAIN. I keep telling myself "it will be over soon" 15 weeks and 2 days
