This last week was Great! I spent most of the week either reading Owners/Operators Manual for the Bobcat trying to understand what all was happening with the group assignment (travel motors,ETC.) or working with Logan on the Forklift transmission. Ending the week today with a trip down to Kenworth in Renton, this was awesome!
The group assignment went well. I feel that together as a group through our own individual research and group discussion we really came to understand what was going on with the travel motors from beginning to end. I know that without the teamwork and especially the class discussion I would still have a few questions.
Now the Forklift transmission project I have been working on with Logan has gone good. We have finished cleaning almost all of the parts and have begun to reassemble the transmission. When it came time to put the retaining rings back in the clutch cylinders we had to fabricate our own tool to use in the 100 ton press in order to get the snap rings back on, this was fun. Can't wait to get back at it.
I ended the week today with a trip to Kenworth, wow. I was very impressed with what I saw today. Whole trucks being assembled in hours. I have never seen anything like that and left there in awe. Thanks again Tom and Jeff for making that happen.
Week 7
Hours 26
It has been good to interact a bit on that transmission. Keep up the great work Isaiah, I can see that you have a great understanding of things mechanical.
