First two days on the job ludtke trucking

This week I started working as a machanic. Here are a few pictures of some things I did the past two days 



Removed the shock on this very rusted trailer. Everything was rusted and nothing went well. Just to get the bolts off it took about 3 hours. Two bolts....
But after learning four different ways to break a rusted bolt we had the shock off of the trailer to show the parts man (ted) so he could order 8 shocks for that trailer.  And all new manual slack adjusters. 



I got ordered to make this tractor start and remove it from the trailer an take it into the shop for further replairs. This tractor is about 50 years old.... It was interesting. Learning how to start it was a learning opportunity all on its self. Then I started taking apart things re did some wiring from the ignition, used the wire brush to clean up the lines to the battery. And after adding some clean new fuel to the tractor and jump packing the battery the tractor fired right up. 

Then I was told to replace some lights on a trailer. I had to red wire it an rewire some stuff and with a new light everything worked well.
