Field work

40 week
120 month

This week I went to Oregon with my boss and crew and helped his brother get his thousand acres ready to plant. I worked 80 hours in 5 days. I was in charge of the preventative maintaince every morning. We had no equipment issues cause I kept a close eye on everything..

Radiator work

40 week
80 month

This week I changed a radiator on a John Deer combine it weighted 400 lbs we had to use the crane to lift it into the rear of the machine. Were also getting ready for the fields so it took all week doing preventative maintaince to get all the equipment ready for the fields. I greased all the discs and plows even had to weld one of the disc's back into place that was fun.I learned that if I do a good job at the end of summer before I put them way I won't have to do much when we need to use them again. In class I did all the electric boards again they were pretty simple I helped the first year guys get them down really easy..
