JAY: We've had one of those days here. I'm starting to feel like we've had the CAT combine on fire again and the transmission went out! Our Miller welder/generator that we use during the day to weld with in the evening powers the dorm, broke down at 2:00 am. We worked most of the morning figuring out what was wrong with it. Now we're trying to get a part in the States and get it down here. I'm sure it's about like waiting on a transmission part from Canada! We went to get the spare generator and the guys didn't have a pintal hitch so they tied straps on it and in the process bent the hitch 90 degrees.
We were also running a small Miller Bobcat welder generator and someone put gas in the oil. We thought may be there was diesel in the gas so we drained the fuel tank. We thought we'd better changed the oil as well. That's when we noticed the gas in the oil.
We went to use the cement mixer and it wouldn't run. It needed a new spark plug.
The CAT roller/compacter has a bad bearing where it articulates in the center like a 4 wheel drive. Fortunately we can get one here.
The bulldozer needs new clutches. It works but only turns left.
Our Bobcat skid steer hasn't run since I've been here. We replaced a solenoid and it worked for 10 minutes before a low hydraulic oil pressure indicator came on. The Bobcat Indy North service manager has been great about helping me over the email. We changed the Hydraulic oil filter, and discovered a leak in a hydraulic line.
We have a rental CAT skid steer and one of the wheels' studs were stripped out.
But hey, it's only 4:00 there's still time for something else to break!
At our meeting this morning I prayed that nothing else would break, God must be teaching us something.
Keep us in your prayers.
