Air lines

This week I did a variety of different things. For example....

Replaced these valves on a tractor. There was a major air leak. We knew the air leak was in that area and my boss did not want to take the time to find the exact problem so we replaced both valves because they were getting old anyways. The quick release valve on the left was the problem it had worn out. I leanred how to trace down air leaks with soupy water and closing the shop doors and muting distractions around me to find the exact spot the air is leaking from.

 I also replaced a radiator for a driver that works for the company I work for. It took about 4 hours pretty easy. I was assuming it would be hard and time consuming. But what I leanred is very important. I leanred that after adding coolant to run the engine on level ground and re check the level of the coolant. After restarting the engine the radiator needed a gallon of coolant. 

I also installed the air lines for the new drop axle we installed on a chassi. I ran the red, blue, and black lines through the trailer, zip tied all the lines in place and hooked them up with fittings. I leanred how to run lines on a trailer and a greater understanding of how the air system works.
